To keep the black wringle finish looking like new i just brush it over with engine oil and wipe off the surplus, keeps it looking good and black for months, although s100 is probably better to spray on the jugs.

Just when I thoguht I had tried everything (S-100 cleaner and Brightener), WD-40, Armour All, every indistrial cleaner known to mankind (including Castrol Super Clean which is wicked stuff), denatured alcohol, terpentine, laquor thinner, and paint thinner. Soaking, working in with a brush, etc. Nothing would remove it. Some stuff would temporarily make it go away but then it comes back after a ride. I am looking forward to trying "Pig Spit" (if I can catch one and get him to spit), Pledge and Silicon Spray. Hopefully I will have luck with one of those. Thanks
p.s. the wax I can't get off is either Harley Glaze or Harley Chrome Cleaner.

DuPont™ Prep-Sol® 3919S™ Cleaning Solvent
High level autobody shops use it to remove all traces of wax from a car finish before they do any repair work or paint. Wax even in extremely minute amounts in NOT your friend if you're trying to paint something. There are also additives that can be put in the paint, but Prep-Sol is the up-front fix.

I had that problem a few years back on my Sportster. I'd use mothers polish and it would get on the engine black where the chrome meets it. I remember using a military rifle tooth brush and some windex. I use McGuires quick deatil on the chrome now...no more abrassive cleaners.
