RE: washing bike,

Ihave put Pig Spit on the sidewall of the tires as well. It isn't as slippery as armorall or the like.

RE: washing bike,

I use s100 also and never had any problems just keep it off the denim paint if you got it. I cant understand why anyone would put armorall on there tires.[sm=badidea.gif]

RE: washing bike,

I have gotten S100 total cycle cleaner on the denim paint and I haven't noticed any problems. I stopped squirting it on the paint after a few people said to keep it away though. What does it supposedly do to the paint?
