I was using a microfiber towel to dry off the paint and chrome on my motorcycle. The exhaust was still hot when I barely grazed it with the towel while trying to pick up a few wet spots close to the pipe.

Does anyone have a suggestion as to what might work to remove the microfiber cloth residue from the chrome?

Thank you for your time!

Acetone has worked well too.  Be careful of the fumes, lest you get light headed, but it is effective.  MEK (metyl-ethyl-ketone) should work too, I think it's a major ingredient in fingernail polish remover.

Hope that helps a bit.

Ray Nielsen, in Minneapolis and went for a ride today, it warmed up to 45 degrees!

A suggestion when using “Easy-Off” cold formula;

Spray the Easy-Off into a plastic container away from the bike, out in the drive way.

Then use a small paint brush to apply it to the muffler.

That way you will not get it on the paint or aluminum.

The easy off will stain/mar both paint and aluminum.

Be careful and patient, it works.

Careful with that MEK! It is listed as being carsenogenic----don't get any on ya!

I have used a ball of aluminimum foil as a scrubber and not scratched chrome...
