Best spray on - rinse off cleaner???
Looking for something to give a real quick wash in between thorough washes. Which I rarely do. Like if I get caught in the rain. Something to get the light grime and surface dirt off without having to take several hours to do it. I have read the S100 is basically the same as Simple Green which is not good for waxed surfaces. There is also Bike Brite, Meguiars, Pig Snot. So which is the best for not leaving spots or residue and still safe for waxed and polished surfaces???

Another trick is to use Rejex in lieu of regular wax, which makes the wash job easier. Originally formulated for the aircraft industry to keep wings and frontal surfaces free of bugs and exhaust deposits, it has also caught on with enthusiast car and MC owners. I've used it for about eight months and it works well, most notably to ease the removal of love bugs on the front of the bike. With the exception of love bugs all that's needed to routinely clean the front of the bike is a damp microfiber cloth and water with minimal rubbing. In fact, most bugs come off with a wipe from a California Duster. For love bugs I moisten with water and after a minute or so just wipe them off, again with little rubbing.
Rejex also works to repel dust, which is useful for those of us with dark-colored bikes. It has a specific application procedure that needs to be followed, most notably air temperatures under 85° and no exposure to sun or rain for 12 hours while it cures. It goes on like wax and the best price I could find on it was at MyPilotStore.com. At first I only used it on frontal surfaces, but after discovering that it seems to repel dust I started using it on all non-porous surfaces of the bike (paint, windshield, chrome, forks, even wheels).
