I bought one of the Mr. Clean AutoDry kits at Wal Mart, that works really well using their soap. I didn't let the engine "auto dry," however, but blew out the water with my air compressor.

It worked very well on the black spokes on the cast wheels as well.

If you are shopping for the Engine brightner - Get the Pig SPIT not the Pig SNOT.

Pig spit is the spray that you can use on Engine black, rubber, vinyl, chrome, pipesand even paint. Pig SNOT is their wax product it is also good but not for the engine nor pipes.

Clean your bike with S100 Bike wash rinse and dry and then spray away with the Pig SPIT. Works really well one of my favorite products!

Pig Spit is available at the local Walmart. I also get my VTwin oil there.

I use the S100 Engine Brightner and love the stuff for my black engine. It keeps it showroom new looking!

Exactly what I do. Love the pig spit.
The local HD dealer down the street from me carries S100 products and Pig Spit so it is easy to get for me. I have seen some say that Pig Spit is avaliable at Wal Mart but none of the 3 near me carry it, although I did see quite a few hogs in there but I wasn't about to ask any for their spit. [:'(]
