I spray my engine with a mixture of dishwashing liquid and water. Let it sit while I wash the rest of the bike, Then just rinse with water. I use simple green on the underside due to road grime and stuff. Wash the rest of the bike with Meguires carwash soap. JMO

S-100 makes the black parts look like show room condition!
Just spray it on and leave it!
Unbelievable!
