Rode in the snow with my chrome pipe. Are there any tricks to cleaning a chrome pipe besides lots of elbow grease. It rainbowed pretty bad.

Only way to prevent that is to have the pipe ceramic coated. 'Cermachrome' looks like polished aluminum, keeps your motor cooler and won't change colors. You can get more info at:

Make sure that you are not slightly lean. As soon as you are a little lean the exhaust temperatures rise substantially.

Eagle One Chrome & Aluminum polish. It does wonders on my pipes, however, you'll never get all of the blue off.
