Just tried my 1st can of the S100 engine cleaner, looks great!
I've been using the CD2 Engine Detailer for quite a while on my cars and bikes, but haven't used any of the S100 products. How does CD2 Engine Detailer compare to S100 Engine brightener?

Also for original poster, you may want to try spraying the cylinders with WD-40 then using the Never Dull, that might keep the Never Dull residue from sticking to the black portions of the cylinders.

Below photos are before and after , Simple Green, rinse, blow dry, and CD2 Engine Detailer.

+ 1 Peanut butter. Non-corrosive, cheap, environmentally safe and the oil it contains washes off easily without leaving a chemical residue. I believer most engine cleaners are slightly corrosive, s=100 is a good choice if you have it around when you need it. Dish soap a no-no , unless you don't mind rust developing around screws and bolts.
