its not road grime. i tried the s100 workd pretty good on dirty places. but i still have some discoloration. now that i have read what some of you guys have said im guessing the previous owner burned clearner on or let it sit too long. my next question is... has anyone used a product called por15? a friend told me about it. its basically a brush on engine enamel.

I just looked at the por15 website, it says it is a Rust Preventive Paint, not a cleaner, they do have Marine Clean, not sure I would use either one on my ride though.
I have been using S100 for years, great stuff, tried Shout but it seemed to leave it kind of sticky.

S100
S100 takes the paint ( black ) off the motor after awhile and that's from MY previous experience with my other bikes , now i only use soap and water ...

If you really want a black motor, you could paint it with a high temp paint, then clean the fin edges off. Would look pretty good.

If you have access to anyone that can "steam clean" much better than chemicals. If not and can get to a pressure washer see if you can get your hot water to connect to that. I try to keep all harsh cenmicals away from my bike as a last resort and you use chemicals be sure and rinse rinse rinse and then rinse 3 more times.
