My problems with S100 cleaner...
Those who know me here in these forums know I am NOT quick to complain about just anything. However I have a problem with the past two purchases of S100 cleaner. Both purchases were the quart size spray bottles. The sprayer component of the bottles broke after just one use on both bottles. In addition, although the cleaner works fairly well, the cleaner leaves a heavy film on the bike which is fairly obvious on dark colors such as my black bike. This film might be hard to detect on lighter color bikes. The problem with the film is that it is difficult to remove and can not be rinsed off with clean water. In fact I normally need to wipe the bike down multiple times to remove the film.
I am sorry about the negativity but I just wanted to share my experience with this cleaner. Has anyone else experienced this? |

I am sorry about the negativity but I just wanted to share my experience with this cleaner and I cannot continue to support a product where the spray bottle will no longer spray after only a single use. Sucks that you've had a bad experience. |
The bike needs to be squeaky clean before you apply it since S100 is a sealer. We never rinse ours after applying it and my engine looks better than new.

I am talking about the cleaner not the engine brightener as I suspect you are referring to.
Oops sorry, yes I was. We buy stuff to clean our engines from the corvette guy across the alley. It's like $130 for 5 gallons. I think it's actually a wheel cleaner. I'll check with Dan to make sure and see if I can get a product name for you. |
Never had a problem with it. I have a few of the smaller bottles that I usually refill with the gallon jug. Contact them and see what happens. Ya never now.

Could be a bad batch of spray bottles. My last one broke too. i thought maybe it has something to do with my hanging them from the trigger....

I used S100 on my Softail back in the 90's. The white residue is still on there.

I've had the same issue with last 2 sprayers... And I have some spots on my rims that I attribute to S100 and not getting them completely washed off. I just don't use it anymore, not willing to take the chance.
