Our personal bikes are rarely confused with trailer queens. It's not that we don't wash them, it's just we'd rather ride than clean. Back in the late 80's, our founder came across S100 on the shelf of some long forgotten Dallas-area bike shop. A ridiculous number of bikes later (just ask his wife!), he still swears by it and it's all we use around the shop. Avilable in a handy 500ML spray bottle and money-saving 5 liter jug.  Yes, it's that good... 

YMMV, but here's the washing process we use:

• Get bike dirty
• Park in shade and let cool
• Rinse off loose stuff with patented "thumb over hose end" method
• Spray S100 liberally all over bike
• Spray 4-5 shots of S100 into bucket, then fill with water
• Using microfiber cloth rag, wet rag in bucket, wipe down plastic, painted, and clear surfaces
• Using 2nd soft cloth, wipe down all engine and exhaust bits
• Using soft bristle brush, clean wheels and tires
• Rinse areas as you clean, work top to bottom and front to back
• Dry all surfaces with S100 drying towel or chamois
• Polish all plastic, painted, chrome, and clear surfaces with "Original Spray Cleaner & Polish"
• Open a beverage and enjoy the sight of a clean ride... 

Here's what they say: 

When S100 Total Cycle Cleaner arrived in 1985, it completely changed the way bikes get washed and created an overnight sensation. Rider Magazine hailed it as a "…revolution for the Saturday Morning Wash". Cycle Magazine said: "Nothing we have tried cuts through road grime quicker or more thoroughly…" In 1986, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company picked up S100 and began using it at their factory and test track and then decided it was important enough to supply to their dealers….Today they still do!
