bike cleaning with S100
Taking a poll on who uses S100 total cycle cleaner and how well you like it? I used it for the first time and it left streaks all over. Trying to figure out if I used it wrong or is junk?

I use it on the engine and underneath only. About once a year. You gotta use a lot of water to rinse it off. I mean a whole lot of water. When you think it's been rinsed enough, rinse a few minutes more. Lots and lots of water. Did I mention you have to rinse really good?

I have a bottle someone gave me but haven't used it yet. I have read alot about the LOTS of water thing and what could happen if you don't get it all off so kinda fearful of trying. But there are alot of people who swear by it as for me the hose and soap and water still working.

The stuff is great and I've been using it for years. Gotta wash her in the shade when you use S100. Wet the bike down with a good rinse before you apply. Squirt it down with product, and then rinse it off with with a strong stream. Also, you get a lot of streaking if you let the cleaner dry in the sun before the final rinsing. Now dry her off. Really breaks down road grime without much work.
