And I sat on my *** and watched.
Last week, out in the garage, I spot the bottles. Bike was dirty, so I gave it a shot.
Hosed it off, and i didn't dry it quick enough. Blew it off, and microfiber. What a mess.
Water spots and haze all over.
So I donated the two remaining bottles to use with the power washer to clean the sheds.
Back to the car wash.
S 100, I don't know, but it's not the same. Very disappointed.
Stuff has always been a picky pain to use, never could understand why all the fanboies were raving about it.

Because some people have the ability to read the directions and actually follow them?

oh, I understand why...,have you seen the lemon pledge threads? some of these dumb****s would smear horseshit on their bikes if they thought it would save them a little money and give them bragging rights regarding their nifty new 'hack'

That was the hot topic back when I first found this forum, hear it still other places. Bite my tongue every time.

I'm not remotely a technically challenged individual, I have never had good results with it, tried several times. Simpler, less costly products abound if you strip off the motorcycle specific targeting.

Another way to look at it...Would you use it on "Your" new Ferrari? Probably not. Although some would. Like the Pledge threads
