Default Keeping Black Engine Clean????

Dont know about you guys but have seen some pretty grotty Street Bob engines about..I ride mine all weathers but just use warm water with car shampoo and a brush..so far it works ok but hate to end up with a grey finish on it in a couple of years...you found anything that keeps it good/new looking???

S100 engine brightener seems to work good for me, but I have heard others say that they use WD40.

Pig Snot is a wax. Pig Spit is a spray that makes anything black look great. Pig Spit is very similar to S100 Engine Bright.

My local HD shop carries Pig Spit and I love the stuff. Makes the black engine, tank console, cables etc look like new.

+1 on Pig Spit just did up my bike today. It's like a clear coat and once you have a good couple coats on there all you have to do his take an air hose to it and the dirt flies right off.

ARCHER I meant pig spit today not pig snot, I think I just set you up for failure!! Mybad!

S100 engine brightener and pig spit are the best stuff. I tried everything because i thought mine was dirty but the black on the engine turns gray after awhile so i use eaither one of the above and it makes the gray black again.
