When something bakes onto a carbon fiber cannister, as I suspect one should not apply abrasives, how does one clean it?

I have never seen a carbon fiber canister get hot enough to bake something.

Had several carbonfiber cans and never had that problem, just clean it like you would do the paintwork.

Chrome is an option. Haven't seen one - but probably looks nice for a while..
The chrome looks great after a couple of thousand miles. The stock stainless turns brown near the cylinders. The chrome turns blue. Absolutely lovely.
