RE: S100
I'm not a big fan of their spray detailer, streaks too easy. I came across a product a couple years ago called "Yacht Brite" not to be confused with "Bike Brite" totally different stuff. The YB was fantastic, much easier to lightly buff a shine out of any surface. Years ago, Westley's had a product called Clear-Gard. Although it was aimed at Armor-All's audience, it buffed real nice from painted and chromed surfaces. Haven't seen it available in decades though.

RE: S100
Honda Bright and S100 is the same thing. It does take a lot of rinsing to get it all off. I wet the bike, spray it on, take the hose and with a wide spray, spread the stuff around, then blast it off, and rinse, and rinse, and rinse................................ Noname

Lots of good info on S100 here, was invented in Germany, still made there I believe, is a synthetic detergent (to go with your synth oil!).

RE: S100
Put yer bike in the shade , make sure its cooled off. Spray it down with water. Git some car soap and a brush for the wheels from the Harley dealer. git some car soap, Use a nice small hand towel and wash yer bike. I use the airforce blaster , it has heat to it to help dry the bike. I use th S-100 Detail-Wax
or Protectall from these folks, out it on with one rag and wipe it off with another towel. I use the brush on the motor and wheels.
Like somebody else said the S-100 Bike wash is acid and very corosive and you have to wash yer bike a couple times to git it off you yer in trouble. You can feel it burn a cut when it gits in it too.

RE: S100
This thread is not encouraging me to use S100. First I would have to change to syn3 oil 
, then there is the potential acid damage and film left on the bike. I just use a car wash solution in a bucket of water followed by drying with a soft towel and then an application of Harley Glaze applied with my finger tips. Has worked for me on a vivid black bike for years. Jus' sayin'.

RE: S100
dish soap is great if you plan to do a full detail and want to remove all your old wax before reapplying. as a regualar wash it's a bad idea unless you don't like wax on your bike. i'm a fan of s100 cleaner and wax.
