That S100 does work great. But if you run out, and you want to slick up the engine after washing to go for a ride, WD40 works great. And with the little hose you hit all the spots. Best of all you can just wipe off the spots on the chrome or places it gets with no problem.

+1 on Pig Spit!

The stuff is amazing on the black wrinkle finish on the engine and parts and is not greasy at all. Makes it look like new. I even had some wax from the previous owner on the black in places that I could not get off, and you cannot even see the wax anymore.

You can get it at your local HD dealer.
