Funny... recently used it on my quad before selling and today on my XR650L. Absolutely amazed at how well it cleaned up the baked on mud, etc. Really shined up the bare aluminum engine parts too, was wondering how it worked so well. ?? Now I know. Fortunately, I only used it once on the Harley a few weeks ago to clean ONLY the silver powdercoat. Rinsed super well also based on previous stuff that I read. Never again for the Harley.

Used in the past I had always wondered what cause some spots on my gray engine I found out.
This is some S100 Total cycle cleaner spilled on a coated cement floor it used to be gray it eat though coating and damaged the cement.
I not say it is bad but you better spray it on with one hand a hose it down with the other quick

A lot of people make up their own directions and then are disappointed and call stuff crap, never understood that.
Instructions read to 'rinse off immediately with a sharp jet stream of water until squeaky clean'.. They do tend to print the instructions in small text. But that's what it says. It's what works. I buy it by the gallon, use the almost one entire spray bottle per wash. I start at the top and work down on both sides. As soon as I am done applying I start rinsing, and I rinse thoroughly, never an issue, always pleased. No corrosion issues yet.
Their Polishing Soap is the greatest thing I have ever used on metal, the wax is as good as any carnuba I have used as well.

I hate that ****.. I used it once and did not let it hardly sit on the metal parts at all and it left peckar track stains on some of the aluminum. Needless to say it went back to the dealership for a full refund.
