Default S100 cleaning

Has anyone used s100 on anything other than the motor and trans? I purchased the foaming aerosol can but haven't tried it yet. Not looking to mess up paint...

My take on S100 total cycle cleaner. Avoid it. On my 2007 using it as directed it put stains on my silver engine. Latter a bottle of it spilled on a nice concrete floor and it is forever etched. S100 has some good products this is not one of them. To many better options with no harsh effects.

Since I started the thread I used the s100... no problems with it, I sprayed water on trany/engine and lower fairings then used the product. No raids or spotting. Thanks for your reply. Seeing your floor I will be extra careful with this....

I like the bike cool completely, spray the engine down with water, spray with S100, take a brush to the dirty areas, and spray it off right away... never had a problem.

S100 is just pre-diluted Simple Green.

Exactly or something like it. I have been using S100 in the spray bottle since the late 80's and never had it damage anything. I have also used the aerosol can without issue either.

S100 is made at the same place and by the same company as Simple Green.
