I know about S100. Are there any other great products for getting back to black?

HD engine brightener works surprisingly well.

CycleCare makes a spray on (non-aerosol) engine brightener, spray on, let sit, wipe off excess.

any of those should work, I think I've got the s100 engine brightener just because that's what was available at the time. Works awesome, I usually use it once a year during my big detail and heck I think I've had that 1 can 3 or 4 years

Are the others better though? I used the S100, it's pretty good, but my FXR isn't really where I'd like it. Hate to pull the engine just for a paint job, but idk of any other way.

The Cycle Care Engine Enhancer Formula B is for silver or black engines, I've used it on my black engine. A long ride that included two days in the rain, and it didn't wash off.

. Cool. I'm gonna look that up. Would you say it's better than S100?
