I use S100 'engine brightener' and it comes in a spray can with a nozzle that you can use to aim the spray. most harley dealers have this stuff in stock from the page below:

Or Pig spit. They are both about the same but the Pig spit comes in a bigger can. My stealer didn't have the pig spit last time, only the S100.

So are these products spray on and leave it be? Just spray on the pig spit and leave it and my motor will look better?
