Default What Liquid for cleaning my FATBOY!

Just picked my 08 FATBOY 2 days ago and love it, i have the custom scorcher paint job, i know i must use a micro fibre cloth for wiping it down, but what liquid should i buy?, some one told me to get S1000, is this any good?, if not what?, and also how do i apply it and remove it, sorry for the stupid questions, this is my first HARLEY, not my first bike, but my first HARLEY, thanks to all......Ivan!

Hi Ivan...first off, IMO I think you picked out the right bike! Now, not that I want to sound like an ad but S 100 is all I use. Make sure the whole bike is cool, spray on the S 100 and hose off...that's it.

Soap and water. Dry with a microfiber towel.

Try SDOC100 - if you can get it - its a spin off of S100 and a lot cheaper.....
