I use S100. I cut it 50/50 with water. I also use a wash mit to rub down the bike to help break up the dirt with the S100. I suppose I use it just like car wash soap. Wet the bike, spray on S100, rub it down with the mit, spray off. It works pretty good for me. I rinse the bike down, but nothing special...just a good rinse.
I have found that it doesn't make my WWW very white, actually it leaves them a little yellow/dingy looking. I use Wesley's Beach White on my WWW tires.
Good luck.

I've never used it on the paint only the engine, pipes and underside of bike, takes off road grime and oil without scrubbing. It leaves a nice shine on chrome but will streak if you don't rinse the hell out of it.

I got a bottle on the shelf for any one who wants it, come and get it. I use Mcguires auto wash. Used S-100 one time and my water bill wet up $100 for the month. the heck with that. I'd rather take a power washer to the bike than use that stuff again.

And Wesley's Bleche White is too much work. That's why it's black walls only for for me from now on.
