S100 Engine Brightener after washing with soap and water/drying makes wrinkle black engines look like new again. Very good stuff.

I use S100 Engine Brightener. The spray nozzle allows hitting the hard to reach spots.

I used Nu Vinyl for years. Unlike Armor All, it doesn't attract dust.

Pig Snot is another choice for the black cases.

Harley-Davidson® Engine Brightener. About $6.00 at the dealer. Works great.

S-100 Engine Brightener is the best!

I have found a product called "Pig Spit" works best. It doesn't burn off or attract dirt.

I got it at the dealership.

To keep the motor (Black) looking good I will wash when cold with simple green and water
and then use HD Engine Brightener after all is totally dry
