XxMeltIcexX Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 Shearer chrome looks crappy enough as it is, but now i've got oil on them from a bad seal (Stock hangers finally gave way, got new chrome cascade ones coming). So the sealant gave way from all the turning on the flanges. I decided to pull them off and do some maint. polishing on the motor and theres no way I cant afford new chrome at this point so whats going to get that oil off my pipes? I refrained from using a steel brush cause it would hurt me too much... Eric Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeKid15 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 when i burn my riding pants onto the head pipes, i take them to my bench buffer and use a soft wheel and come chrome rouge. I dont know what i would do if i didnt have that. A buddy of mine used the super-fine steel wool, but polishing it leaves it flawless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never really had to do this but with shearers you really need a seal or your pipes are messed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 You could give an SOS pad a try. I've used those before to remove crap like that. Just polish them up when you're done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDS2106 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 (edited) That blue soapy blue shit that is imbedded in a sos pad will actually shine the chrome up rather nicely and also leave a coating, makes the water bead and run off kinda like wax...

bansheefreak Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 yes use a sos pad wont hurt the bling eric.. then not sure if you do this or not but put another exhaust oring around the cyls exhaust and then put pipes on .. keep that motor clean ....we wouldnt want nobody thinking you actually ride it..

jbooker82 Posted February 2, 2008 Report Share Posted February 2, 2008 I would go get 0000 steel wool insead of a sos pad. The 0000 is super fine so it doenst leave marks. I dip the pad in some acetone to help disolve the oil. Then give it a little polsh. I usually wipe the pipes down with acetone after I am done so it makes my cascade cpi's streek and finger print.

XxMeltIcexX Posted February 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Thanks guys going to have to try this when i get the chance, ill have to look for those exhaust orings too, i have the inside ones but not the outside ones... as for you shawn i wish it was like that, i want to tear her down so bad and redo alot of things, the frame needs alot more cuttin.... And of course some more polished parts :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shee rips Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 i used a razor blade to scrape my melted pants off on my fmfs. just make sure you hold it almost parallel to the surface so it doesnt dig in and scratch. i need to do them again, i was doing burnouts just wearing jeans and made a mess on the pipes again, so i will try the sos pad this time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
