Thanks all!

Sounds like Pigsnot is what I'll try first.

Guess I know where I'll be sending most of my time (when not riding). Might have to set up a cot in the garage.
Wife might even be happy, so I won't be bugging her so much.

I use some stuff called Blackout.You can get it at www.cleancycle.com..
J&P sells it now too.Looks like vaseline a little and it keeps my wrinkle black looking new.I tried pig snot and s100 and I like this stuff much better.Put it on with a foam brusk like you would use for painting.Slips right between the fins..

I use the S100 Engine Brightner and love the stuff for my black engine. It keeps it showroom new looking!
Bingo, we have a winner!
It 's easy to use, not messy, and it works the way it's supposed to.

After you've cleaned your engine,spray it with Pam cooking spray.It prevents any dirt from sticking and washes off easy.
