Cleaning out my Dyna
Hi guys,
I just wanted to ask you how do you manage to clean black motors, I spend hours a day washing&cleaning by HD, but for some reason regarless of the effort I use to clean the motor, I am never able to get all the dirt off.
Any suggestions on cleaning products to get it as if it just came out of the factory?
thanks.

When soap and water cleaning my bike, the first thing I do is use a paint brush dipped in the soapy water and brush the motor fins and casing.
Before polishing the bike I spray S-100 Engine Brightener on all of the black around the engine, including the fins.

Black motors
WD-40, that's all you need.
spray it on and wipe off excess.

"Spend hours a day cleaning the engine"
I don't know about you, but, I bought my H-D to ride hours a day, if not more. Cleaning, cleaning? Really? You want to talk about cleaning? You sure? OCD, maybe?

I've been using the CD2 Engine Detailer for quite a while on my cars and bikes, but haven't used any of the S100 products. How does CD2 Engine Detailer compare to S100 Engine brightener?
Also for original poster, you may want to try spraying the cylinders with WD-40 then using the Never Dull, that might keep the Never Dull residue from sticking to the black portions of the cylinders.
Below photos are before and after , Simple Green, rinse, blow dry, and CD2 Engine Detailer.

i get some dirt that likes so sit in the flat spots of my engine that i blow out with compressed air.
then i spray wd40 on a shop rag and wipe all my casings.
to think i used to spend bucks on s100 and pig spit.
wd40 cleans your engine and makes it BLACK
