I use Moto Black. Works great and leaves the motor looking great for a long time.

Here is a websie that sells it.

I used the S-100 Engine Brightner on my 05 ultra. At about 15,000 miles it was looking REAL gray. One of the parts guys at my dealer convinced me to try it. It worked great ! When I totaled it, at about 35,000 miles...it was time to re-apply. It also worked great on the other black areas inside the faring. Get some cold drinks and a stool, and take your time...to do a good job... it takes some time. But anything worth doing...is worth doing right. Here is a link http://www.s100.com/s100_eb.htm

+1 on S100.
I used with the total cycle cleaner and then used the engine brightener once it was dry and it is back to black and it truly looks incredible.

+1 on PIG SPIT. Like it better than when I used s100...just spray on and thats it. Cheaper too for the amount per volume.

I use PIG SPIT on the engine and all wrinkle black and gets rid of minor blemishes. On eggine I spray on the fins and use nail brush to get rid of the dead bugs on the front, lol.
