Default salt problem

put a long version of this on the dyna forum
just returned from beach and salt air really was hard on certain places of the bike
looking for suggestions to clean it ...tried s100 already but no help really
its the heads, fork braces,and rims mostly but brake pedal and a few other small parts were affected
any ideas?

I know one thing you DON'T want to use is a thing called "Castrol Super Clean" That crap really screws up the clear coat on aluminum.......Ask me how I know and I'll say I did it! Really F-ed up the clear coat on my rocker box's, cam cover, derby cover , and tranny cover.
