Pig Spit. It is the only thing I've found that doesn't burn off as soon as the engine and pipes heat up.

FWIW I only used the S100 Engine Brightener 1 time last summer and the bike still looks great between washes. I would have to say it's very durable. I ride a lot and I've have gone through a whole can of the total cycle cleaner in the same amount of time so it's not like I hardly wash it.

I wish I could get my hands on some pig spit so I could try it as well.

Windex on the denim paint, S100 or Pig Spit on the engine, Pig Spit on the sidewalls, Lexol on the leather, and Pledge on the chrome that I have left.
