When I bought my first Harley, the dealer handed me a 1L bottle of S100 and said cut it 50/50 with water and it will work well. Since then I use a spray bottle mix of S100 and water. It works well.
I use the S100 mixture on the driveline, wheels, chrome and underside of the bike. I don't expect it to be a "miracle soap" so I use a wash mit or brush to help it out. Its a good degreaser, gets rid of brake dust and road grime easily. I use regular car wash soap (and water) on the painted sufaces.
I dry my bike with a leaf blower, then a towel. Then finish the bike up with some of the final detailers.
Good luck.

Here's a little suggestion for to use along with whatever wash chemicals you decide on.. I was a professional detailer for near 10 years. Always carried deionized or "spot free" water. Back then I had the whole tank and mobile setup. Don't have all that now, so I just got a blue water container that holds about 7 gallons from walmart. I take it to a detailing supplier to fill with DI water for about $.15 per gallon. I store it and refill a pump style garden sprayer (home depot) that I use to wash down the bike with. No hose needed, and the bike dries spot free. Drying with a blower is always ideal, but this way you keep all the hard water/ minerals out of the equation. Works well for me.

I really wish an S100 rep would get on this forum and help dispel any misconceptions - that way we might find out for sure the good and the bad.
That being said, I have used it a few times over the past year or so, and have had no issues. I followed the directions carefully and applied to a cool bike and rinsed thoroughly.
