I thought it works pretty good .... it only takes a little ... a little goes a long way. Haven't ran across an alternative yet.

S100 engine brite is a great product not to be confused with the total cycle cleaner.
Another product to use on the engine is PIG SPIT it is lower cost and works just as well.

SImple: 3 basic products out there.
HD brand
S100 engine brite
Pig Spit
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.
