Default First S100 wash

Well I've had the bike for three weeks now and put over 700 miles on it and it needed a bath. So I got a can of S100 because of a couple of recommendations from here and from a good buddy. Well I am more that happy with the results, I will still detail it some more over the weekend, but still very happy with the results...here are the results, the bike was pretty dirty.

S100 works really well. Keep it away from your speedo. Do t let it sit too long. Get the wax/polish in the aersol can. Works really well to.

Yes S100 does the job, but there are other cheaper/better products as well. I used S100 for a couple of seasons and, on black bikes, found it baked in too fast...even when in shade. Now use Meguiar's of Wizard wash products as they're easier to work w/black bike(s).

Nice Sporty tho!

Thanks for the comments. I am open to look for another product, I think I might be able to get 3 washes out of this can, but it'$12 for it! I did wax the tins today and it looks real sharp now.
