I don't know if this is the right answer, but try a scotch brite pad in an inconspicuous area. They have worked magic for me.

Yours is rough, I Recommend buying some sos brillo pads and scrubbing it with those with water before you try to polish it. Make sure you plug both ends of the pipe.

alright thanks! it will come off it just takes a lot of time with the power washer and purple power

The liquid ceramic chrome coating can be polished. Here's a link to it, in the instructions it says

"Only on the chrome do you need to polish after fully cured. This is how you achieve the reflective chrome appearance. Use fine steel wool or 600 grit wet/dry sandpaper. A final polish with a buffing wheel, 1200 grit sandpaper, polishing compound, or glass beading at 25-30 PSI will bring out an even brighter finish. DO NOT USE SCOTCH-BRIGHT OR SIMILAR MATERIAL"

Must be pretty durable but thin, be careful with abrasives.

He's going to have to use an abrasive because of how rough his is, trust me, that crust and burnt on stuff will Not come off with polishing. polishing requires a smooth surface.

I've known people to start out on polishing the ceramic with low pressure bead blasting. I was just confirming that the directions call for the use of abrasives on the ceramic.
