Been biting my tongue on this topic. Not that anyone is wrong here - especially you Eric since I quoted you - but my personal experience was that the blue gone products suck. Now it's been a few years and maybe I did it wrong (possible but I seriously doubt it), but it only lightened up the blue a little bit. It did dull the chrome and the blue came back maybe 90% on the next heat cycle. I'm certain my (dyno)tune was correct so that wasn't the issue. A plating shop told me that the heat which causes blueing permanently changes the compostiion of the chrome. Stainless might be a different story?

Just my .03 and I've built a bunch of Harleys...
