Morning,
You need to get on top of that pretty quick before the corrosion's goes too far (unless it already has). Any CB used in all weathers is going to be really hard work to keep nice. It's just a fact. Chrome will scratch easily if you don't treat it well. Scotch brite is a complete no no. We all have our own favourite products so it's maybe no help listing what I buy in the U.K.
With a stone cold exhaust, I would probably try a decent degreaser/ motorcycle wash product first and then dry it off as best I could, then use a decent chrome cleaner with plenty of clean soft cloths (turning frequently) working each pipe at a time to do the best I could. I believe you can use aluminium tin foil if you really need to because it's such a soft metal, as well as that I use old socks to clean around header pipes, grab an end in each hand and work back and forth.
When finished and completely dry then use a barrier product to protect the chrome/paintwork.
Looks like a good mornings work for you. Hope it goes ok.
