You can use simple green on the motor and tires. It's really good with white walls. Don't use on paint or chrome it's a degreaser and it will remove the wax. Wal Mart sells a product in the RV section called Protectall. It's also been advertised in some bike mags. It is excellent for chrome, paint. You can also use some of the detail sprays between washes.

I assume you mean ProtectAll's Quick and Easy Wash. Boat and Rv stores will have it also.

S-100 Engine Brightener works good on the black motors. I heard good things about Pig Spit but haven't tried it.

If you want your black to look black, you have to put something on it every now and then. Either S100 Engine Brightener or Pig Spit is what you want. I used the S100 for years and then tried Pig Spit. I think it is actually better than S100. The bonus is that it comes in a much larger can for less bucks....FYI, some Walmart stores carry it.

I would not spry it on the black jugs. You are asking for big problems if you do.

I have had no problems using simple green either, whether it be paint, chrome, wheels or whatever.

READ THE LABEL
I was out at Home Depot tonight and there are at least 6 "simple green" products - all of them, yes all of them say do not get on leather [stuff] or plastic. OK, this is not working for me. Looks like I can use it on tire and wheels but nothing else without long term damage.

Damn I hate paying for S100.....
