Wet the bike down, spray with s100, use a paint brush or some sort of brush to get to all the hard to reach areas and spread the s100 around. Hose off THOROUGHLY. Dry with chamois and air compressor and ride.

I have been using a product put out by Honda that is supposed to be the "same thing" before I knew about S100.

I know the Honda brabd stuff works excelent! Wipe it on EVERYTHING and polish off. Easier than wax with just as good results, and it is UV protective.

I've used the stuff for years. I think it is great. It does exactly what it claims. Spray it on and wash off. Bike looks great.

I think the detailing spray works great, nice shine! Beware of the s100 cleaner, if you use it, break it down to 50/50 water mix or less. I use it 80% water and 20% product and it still does well. It seems to very corrosive if you don't get it rinsed off good. I use an electric leaf blower to dry mine off with.Anyway, it works great.

Make sure you really rinse your bike. Evertime I use that stuff, there is a film left from excess that I didn't let drain from my passing lamp assemblies. It looks pretty bad. But if you get a drier after it (in my case, the leaf blower does wonders and cost less than the HD blower). Keep on it until you don't see a drop. Wipe it down a couple of times.

I Don't like the cleaner. Works great but Like others stated if you do not entirely rinse it off yourhosed.
I do like the s100 engine brightener. Useit modestly, wipe off where it doesn'tbelong,andit works well.
