I use it and like it alot. I put about 8 oz. in a gallon sprayer, spay heavily and let set for a few minutes, strong rinse with the hose, dry with leaf blower or micro cloth. It has always melted the bugs and grime away nicely. Heavier dirt and brake dust needs a hit with a sponge for sure. You need to rinse really good with pressure or it will film over. Also, I found out it will leave a white residual on the stitching on my seat. No bid deal, i just hit it with a wet rag to finish the bath. I have used it on my car also and got the same good results.
Same process this weekend, let the bike go almost three weeks, and tried the mechanico Saturday night. I sprayed a section at a time and rinsed WELL (based on prior experience with S-100). Found it to be similar but much easier to rinse off. Used Micro AFTER blow drying and it turned out great! Several comments from riding buddies on Sunday re: who detailed my bike. Me, and it was easy.
Haven't tried it on car yet, and doubt I will due to the size of my trucks. And no, I don't own stock or know these guys from Adam, just tried the product based on the reviews here. Gave a couple of bottles away and we'll see what results they have.

Hey Guys,
First off as always thanks for the support and positive reviews. Some of you have been posting that you dont want to try it for a couple random reviews, but let me tell you, there are many more people impressed with it than anything else. As with any product made, you have your couple who just didn't like it.
Here is the deal with the cars.
Obviously a car will attract much more dirt just because of the size. Also, black is a pita. My personal car is black and I wash with Doctor. It is the only thing that I can use that really keeps the dust away after wash. For a light and I mean very light wash you really don't need to put a rag to it. However, once you do give a good wash, keep up with it every couple days like I do with mine and you can forget about putting a rag on it every week.
As always, I stand by our product and if you have any questions or are not satisfied for whatever reason I will go above and beyond to make sure that you are.
Thanks
Rick

Curiosity has been eating me up ever since you have advertised here. I just placed my order today. Can't wait to try it. Does the gallon come with a spray bottle?
No. I use a gallon sprayer, 8 oz. Doc, good for 2 baths.

I bought the six spray bottles because the gallons were no longer offered. I put one bottle into a 2.5 gallon sprayer and filled with water. I used that to spray my bike down after riding in the rain for several miles and collecting much rode film and grime. After a really good soaking with the Dr, I rinsed it off, blew it off with my leaf blower, then took old towels and dried the remainder. Some places still had some road film, but was easily wiped off with the towel. The biggest majority of the bike came out very clean. The second time I washed the bike, once again after riding in the rain and getting road film all over it, I did the same wash technique, only this time I gave it a little more soaking time. It did even better.
I will be the first to admit, it is not as good as a serious hand washing, but for the interim washes between the really good washings, it does just great. Quick, easy, and cheap. I spent as much for the 2.5 gallon sprayer as I did for the product. I also think I probably used way too much of the Dr in the first round of mixing, so I will cut back on my next batch. We'll see how it does diluted more. PACO
