S100 engine bright and HD has one now that seems to work as well and I think it was cheaper than the S100. I even used it on a dull inner fairing and it brought it back to life.

I used an engine degreaser and pressure washer on my 03 Ultra and then the S100 Engine Brightener. I've had people ask me if the bike is all original or if the engine has been replaced

Spray the entire motor with S100 and let it sit for about 10 minutes (scrubbing with nylon brush is optional); then hose it off. Once motor has dried or is blown dry - then spray on engine restore (available from HD or S100). Done!

I use Original Biker Spirits on everything. On the black engine I spray it on and just leave it there. It works on chrome, paint, rubber, and windshield. In the three years I've had this bike it's been washed just twice and the rest of the time it's been cleaned with OBS.

I use s100 on the frame,swing arm, and around lower areas. Then H.D engine bright or s100. Hose off bike blow dry wipe with Denim cleaner done. About 45 mins total, the times in getting the wheels clean.
