Default spray and wash

just wanted to know what kinds of spray on washes there is out there or what you guys use. I heard somebody on here refer to s100. what is this? I live in NC in the country around the blue ridge mountains. lots of farming goes on around here and the roads seem to stay dusty. I like to have a clean bike but when I get back home you cant even tell I washed it. I feel like im washing my bike to death. tried the pledge thing and it works good on a clean bike. but I don't like wiping my bike with dust on it. interested in what you guys use on your bikes. thanks! 2013 flhtk

Personally, I just hit it with the hose , then ride it till its dry , if that . It's by belief , if I got time to wash it , I got time to ride it . So it usually only gets washed at rallies by the gals .

Not a fanatic about keeping the old girl spotless, but I have been using Bike Bright for a few years and have no complaints. Spray it on and hose it off.

For light jobs, I use Windex and a soft cloth. Bigger jobs, a bucket of soapy water and a sponge.

Speaking of S100...I had a friend recommend that to me, since he said it gets mud and crap off that's difficult to get to and scrub. So, I ordered some but it hasn't gotten to me yet.

I don't know of anything that will solve your problem. I use a Mini California Duster between wash jobs & it does the job.

Most HD dealerships carry it. Also Cycle Gear. Check some metric bike shops. Check this out also.

I think Wally Mart may carry it. I have one for my car & bike. I bought mine direct with the link I sent you. Great customer service & fast shipping. Good luck

s100 cleaner and s100 spray wax x2 on the mini duster only takes a few seconds to go over the bike
