I'm not one to boast the expensive HD brands , I personally feel the MOCO is way overpriced, but one spray can will last vtgree seasons and really does the job, giving more bang for the buck. I use it and my engine looks like new and it does withstand the elements , I've washed my Glide six times since the last application of his stuff and it still looks like I I'd the day I applied. Biggest tip/trick.........make sure the surface you are spraying is lean, dry and free of other waxes, solvents, oils and armor all type substances hat interfere with he adhesion properties of he spray. You will not be disappointed.

Silicone spray or Balistol. These two are cheap and work perfectly.

I wouldn't use Armor all--it creates a dependancy on whatever you use it on.


I personally feel the MOCO is way overpriced,


Naaawwwww.....whatever gave you THAT idea??

It works wonders on Black.

A few things you can try -
* Isopropyl alcohol on a cloth. Use a brush if needed.
* All Purpose Cleaner and a brush.
* Mr. Clean Majic Eraser.
Try in an inconspicious spot first, for a short amount of time, but I have read about these.

If pig spit is just silicone spray, will any silicone spray do?
