I like the quick cleaner a lot. It is like a degreaser and takes the road grime right off. Spray it on, wash it off and your done. I don't know where you can get it cheap,I pick up a can every couple of months at the stealler when I go.

I use the S100 foam. It works. My wife and I got caught in a thunderstorm for about an hour. I had road grime from one end of the bike to the other..in between the cooling fins...everywhere. The bike sat for 3 days dirty before I had a chance to wash/detail it. I just sprayed a light coat of water on the bike..then hit it with the S100.....80% of the grime came off with little or no elbow grease. The rest was hit with micro fiber cloths and soft brushes..on the engine, not the paint.

I got the engine brightener at HD. It was a couple bucks more expensive than on line ($10 vs. $8), but no shipping, so it's the same either way. I got if for my faded inner fairing on my Street Glide. After searching the forums to find a solution, that was one suggestion I found, and it seems to be working great. It doesn't look brand new, because the surface is not perfectly smooth, but it is definitely black again. Great solution for those of us who aren't ready to paint the inner fairing.
I haven't used it on the motor yet.

I wasn't impressed with it at all. IMO it didn't clean any better than any other product.
Took a lot of water to rinse it off, and was hard to tell when it was rinsed off.
Where it didn't get rinsed off good enough it left white specs that were very hard to clean up.

The only S100 product I use is the Engine Brightener for the black parts of my motor. I get it from the local HD dealer.
I've never used their other cleaning products because I wash my bike with the same products I use on my other vehicles.

I got my supply through one of Amazon's vendors, i.e. you order via Amazon's webpage but actually get the product through another vendor. I feel that it does what it claims as far as easy cleaning but I would echo the poster who talked about it being hard to wash off. You have to use a very strong spray of water and a lot of it to get it completely washed off. If you don't, as he said, it leaves a white, almost gummy, residue that is very hard to get off once it dries. I would hesitate to recommend it because of that issue.

I use the engine brightener. It's the only product of its type that I've found that works like it so far.
I still use the total cycle cleaner, but I find it's too strong to use full-strength. I dilute it about 50% with water and like the results better.
