Agreed...except, I don't use anything other than the steel wool. My tuner used the 000 to clean the exhaust pipe outlet lips of my V&H HO's. I thought he was crazy at 1st till he actually showed me. My jaw dropped. Steel wool and chrome. I immediately went to Home Depot and got both 000 and 0000 (just to be safe). I now use it religiously on all of my chrome. Not on painted surfaces though. Took some elbow grease to get the burnt rubber off that exhaust header.

Agreed - just use a penny on warm pipes - no need for anything else. Polish afterwards with whatever you normally use.

Old Penny, new penny does not matter. Do not use any silver coinage. Copper and Chrome match metalurgically (is that a word)? In other words it is not a dissimilar metal. You can use the penny on cold pipes. They do not have to be warm.
