I rubbed my boots on the heat shields and now there is some of my boot heal left on the bike. What is the best way to get this off?

Working with COLD pipes use some goof off and a old T Shirt and let the goof off soak in for a couple of minutes them rub
You can even try some brake cleaner on a cloth but not to much and when you get it removed ,repolish the pipe BEFORE you start the bike again

Another way is to heat the pipes up and clean with a damp micro-clothe and iron cleaner. Iron as in the thing you have the Mrs. press you shirt with. It works great.

Will Goo Gone work the same as Goof Off? I only ask because I already have some?

Use oven cleaner. It works great ! Warm up the pipes just a bit and then spray and wipe off with a soft cloth. If any residual is still there then use some 0000 steel wool. Rub it back and forth with light to moderate pressure and it will come off.

Good luck

Best "oven cleaning" I've done in years. Worked great on heat shield and pipe. Had some passenger scuffs from my kiddo...took em right off. Great tip, Thanks.

Just a warning if using oven cleaner do not get it on any painted surfaces or the frame as I have been told it will remove paint and also can damage the powdercoat on the frame.

Eagle is correct and just as well be carful with brake cleaner

boot marks

SOS Pads, the blue ones with soap and steel wool. Never believed it till i tried it on an old factory muffler off my 06 ultra. Thought it would scratch it but it didn't!
Then took it to the CVO RGU and cleaned it all off.

+1 - Every one you tell thinks it will scratch but been using them for years and chrome always looks like new. Glad to hear I ain't the only believer

i saw anouther video of Blue-Job for boot mark removal which justed used the Blue-Off powder and a buffer. (cant find it now) Thats how I did it. worked great. actually made the pipe look better than before. I had to do the hole pipe afterwords to match the shine. lol

 

[BLACKHAWK]

I will have to try it. Thought it would scratch.

I use gasoline and the finest steel wool I can find. Do this with the pipes cold. I works like a charm. Make sure to clean the gas off with you favorite cleaning product. I have been told it might flame up otherwise. I have not seen it myself though.

lol and use a candle for light... j/k

I use like the others Easy-Off (the yellow can) and some good old elbow grease. Works like a charm... then some Never Dull after that to really get all the crap off the pipe. Just don't use a blade to scrape it off.

I had to train myself and my right foot, found i was resting shoe on the heat shield, I am getting less and less burn off now..Have used all the tricks listed here except the SOS and Gas and iron, all work equally well. Some day i will completely stop resting foot on shield.

Steel wool

I use 4-0 steel wool for cleaning my chrome. Great for cooked on bug splatter and also burnt on boot soles.

I tried it with bug N tar remover but it made no difference over just steel wool and I've never scratched the chrome - just don't use it on plastic or paint.

road rub

Why not just by some road rub? It is safe/designed for bike exhaust. It looks like a deodorant stick only smaller. I clean my staggered Rineharts on my dyna with it. Works great. Just rub it on. Some dealers carry it, amazon.com, and ebay both have it.
