What's the best way to keep a brand new PC Works pipe looking brand new? Some say WD-40, others say high temp clear coat. I don't want to lose the luster.

Scotch brite and gibb's oil. You can use WD-40 as well. It will rust no matter what just from mud when you go ride.

Get the pipe to look like you want it to....sanded, blued welds ect. Then high temp clear coat it...the clear will eventually burn off a rider, but will help with keeping rust away. I also spray them with wd40 after washing, and then put some rubber gloves on & take a rag with motor oil on it & give it a nice wipe down....the raw pipes are great looking but way more work to upkeep...all three of these pipes are high temp clear coated....

+1 on the high temp clearcoat. I sprayed a raw Doma pipe back in 06 & have only done a couple of touch ups from time to time.

I hit the pipe with red scotch brite for like 30 seconds every time I was the bike.

I saw on MotoStuff’s Instagram they coated a bills cone pipe with high temp clear ceramic coating. I don’t know anything about it but they posted it the other day.

I've used the aerosol dupli color brand with good results. The ceramic coating would be a better choice since it's suppose to be chip resistant & more durable.

green Scotch Brite and oil of your choice. Don't allow yourself to believe it is clean and does not need a scrub.

Buy some nitrile gloves and have at it after every wash. It will take less time after some practice.

Like mentioned above, high temp clear coat is what you need.

I had a raw pipe on my last Ktm for 4 years after every wash I hit it with wd40 and a green scotch Brite and then wiped with a rag. It took less than 3 minutes every time and looked great all 4 years never any rust
