I use simple green and an old green scratch pad. Make sure that the scratch pad is old so that it is softer that a new one(don't want to scratch those pipes!). Then just polish them if you want.

when u are thru cleaning them use some wd40 to coat your pipes with, it will keep them from rusting

DON"T USE WD40 ON YOUR PIPES!!! if you do they will get a dingy look when hot.
clean them well and then shine them up with a good non abrasive metal polish. Wipe them with a clean rag and your all set.

A old scotch brite pad and some simple green will work wonders.. Also use some mothers polish when u are finished.

Mothers MAG polish + Elbow greese = nice pipes.

OR

Switch to a tripple plated chrome pipe or replate your existing one for easier cleaning.

wd40 actually helps keep your pipes from blueing so bad. Kind of has the same effect as pipe cleaner from fmf. I buy it by sack fulls at Sams Club. Works great on everything!
