Once the engines been washed of the dirt i use "pig spit" its just as good as s100 back to black stuff. It comes in a spray can and man does it work good

With forum members advice, I did the following with amazing result.

- Rinse cool engine and clean off heavier deposits

- Clean wet engine with bucket and Magic Eraser
**warning - magic eraser will beak up and leave white particles, but it's OK

- Rinse engine, magic white particles rinse off

- Dry with compressed air or leaf blower and allow motor to dry completely.

- On jack or stand (level), wiped on Harley Engine Brightener, then sprayed a light finishing coat. Let dry overnight or as long as possible.

Excellent result. Looks better than new.
