Default Engine detailer options...

Hi,

The poor HD dealer in my area does not sell the HD engine brightener nor S100 engine brightener can be found anywhere. I can't order online because they don't ship aerosols products internationally, so I am left with no options.

I mainly need it to restore the black color of the engine.

Can I use Cycle Silicone Spray...

Or any other good alternatives?

Do you have a Honda dealer by you? Try the Pro Honda Spray Cleaner.

You don't use a lubricant to clean your engine. If you can order from Amazon get Pig Spit. Excellent product.

Can't order from Amazon, they don't ship aerosols products overseas.

Sounds like you're looking for something to richen up the grayed out black painted engine casings. If S100 of HD brightener aren't available, I've heard of some people using WD40.

I use a product called Cycle Care Black and Silver Engine Enhancer, in a 16 oz. spray bottle (not propellant), spray on let it dry over night wipe off excess. Didn't wash off after a two day ride in the rain.
