Cleaning the black part of the motor

    Okay, question for people with the black motor. I usually was my bike with good quality cleaner and chamois off. I use Macguires polish for the paint work, and varoius products for the chrome. But how do you get the black on the cylinders and other black parts looking clean and new? Is there any spray product that can be used at the end of the clean up to make the black sections look new again???

    Yeah the S100 is good stuff, there is a better one out of the states called "Pig Snot" if ya can find it and that is supposed to be the best.  I use the S100 and it does a great job, it is expensive, but it lasts a long time, each application will last many washes, and if you use it sparingly and as directed a can will last a long time.. Hope that helps.
