I use shout as well... best motorcycle cleaner in the world....

 

Will shout damage paint at all?

 

I use Shout also. I'm sure I've gotten it on painted surfaces with no ill effects. I don't make a habit of it.

My silver 1999 looks different than newer models. I actually use Brake Cleaner on the stubborn spots and up underneath.

 

But if she's clean, she's not dirty, and if she's not dirty.........then she's clean.

The only time it is acceptable to clean her, is if I'm gonna get her dirty directly after..... or show her off.
