Yep. It's my first choice. Works great!
BTW, Hondabrite is the same thing in a different package, so compare the prices.

Ditto.

I prefer the aerosol spray can over the liquid spray bottle.

How about Semichrome vs Autosol metal polish? Which one is preferred for cleaning/polishing headers and S/S pipes?

I use Semichrome, apply let dry to a haze and buff with a t-shirt. Nothing like an old t shirt for polishing.

Not sure about Hondabrite but I got the S100 for about $15 shipped through Amazon.

I use Autosol, got the blue and gold off the headers in about 10 minutes.

Keeps the chrome shiny for ken ages.

S100 is great, but make sure you wash bike in the shade and rinse the S100 off with lots of cold water. Other wise there will be a milky film on the black parts. But then S100 sells a great product Back to Black (I think) that applies easily and just wipes off.

Semichrome or Flitz, both very good. As is MAAS.

I use S100 and I like it, although it doesn't clean the gunk off the rear wheel. I may have to use something from the Griot's Garage product line to clean it off. I remember Z suggested something for me there a few years back.

good timing Steve...

The S100 stuff is awesome. I used the cleaner and engine brite and was very very happy with their products.

Ive since switched to using some detailing products from a local company (Griots Garage) that works just as good, but if my opinion matters, S100 rocks!

BTW...Ive yet to find a comparable product to their Engine Brite... I keep a can on hand in my arsenal of cleaning products.

I miss spoke Back to Black is a Mothers product, which is very good. Engine Bright is the S100 product. I use both.
