Cleaning black engine WITHOUT water?
I live out in the sticks and my well water is bad. It contains iron. My whole-house water filter uses salt, which is arguably worse for bikes.
I use Never Dull to keep my cooling fins clean and free of oxidation, but the rest of the black engine is getting dull and dirty. I'm very wary of washing and spraying my engine with my well water.
I got a Fatboy S and a sportster.
Anybody know of a good, water-less solution?

Interesting. Just looked it up on the Harley site. It says for "wrinkle black." Does that matter?

Never thought of that. Good idea. I can use that water for other stuff too.

Exactly this above..
Btw, one of my buddies captured rain water from his roof... He has a black Ford pickup.. there was a grit in water that he needed to get his car buffed out...
