All work well on engine and powder coated parts. When used correctly.
HD stuff about 14 bucks a can 11 OZ.
Pig Spit around 9 bucks a can 9 OZ
S100 7.50 to 9.00 a can 4.5 OZ
Do the math, price may very in your area.
Hey Smitty - Thanks for the input. I used S100 all the time until I tried Pig Spit and it seemed to do the job for me. I'm not sure it lasts as long but it doesn't have to when you're paying half of what S100 cost.

I used S100 engine brightener on my black motor and it lasted for over a year. I can not
complain about that.
