Corrosion on pipes

[redReno_imp]

I used Simichrome blue away, #0000 Steel wool and a polishing rag and it worked GREAT to get the spotting and blue off! Maybe even TOO great haha. If you like the bronze color on the pipes then I don't recommend trying to get the spotting and bluing off (I think it doesn't look bad and almost liked them, I know some on UK forum like having the bluing because it shows they ride the bike hard) . I had quite a bit of spotting on mine and don't mind losing the bronze color. I'm taking a break and haven't decided if I want to do the bottom portion of the pipes or leave that part bronze.

Here are some before and after pics.

You can really tell the loss of bronze in these next two. The pipe on the far left wasn't that bad and I saved for last.
