What's the best way to shine up exhaust pipes that have water/dirt spots baked onto the chrome? Any products that work well and are safe?

but ANY product labelled "polish" will do a good job.

...but if they're heel marks, run the bike till the pipes are hot, turn it off and spray Easy Off oven cleaner on the heel marks. Wipe it clean a few minutes later. Make sure to use regular Easy Off, not one of the later iterations like heavy duty or cajun barbeque Easy off, eh, mon?

That Turtle Wax Chrome Polish is some great stuff, I first found it some 35 years ago. Works great on Chrome reversed wheels; great on rust. Won't remove the pitting, but removes all the rust color, and brings out the remaining luster.
Smells kinda funny, looks kinda funny, but works great.

Here's what I do to keep my chrome looking brand new. After washing my bike, I dry off most of the water and then take the bike around the neighborhood for about 10 minutes. Then I take the slightly damp rag and run it over the hot chrome quickly. But, make sure that the rag is not too wet. Just damp. This removes ALL of the water spots and make the chrome look brand new. My bike is a 2000 standard and I have NEVER had to use chrome polish on it. Just my $.02 worth...

Hey Tim, that's a pretty good idea. Works fine till you ride it in the rain. I ride mine every day, non-ice permitting. I live in Seattle area, so you sort of get the picture.
Mine only stays clean if we don't have any rain for a while, like the past week. But that's not the norm.
