S100 Total Cycle Cleaner
This works really well. Make sure to use decent water pressure to hose it off the bike. I would recommend putting it into another spray bottle. I think I got more on the driveway than on the bike my spray head leaked so bad.
Not worth the risk of corrosion
As the label warns this is a highly corrosive product. Even after following the instructions and completely washing off the S100 using the provided sponge and a high power washer, I found that it had removed the gloss finish on aftermarket parts that may not have been powder coated or painted with a high quality paint. It left them all matte. Not worth the risk to me. Might be okay on dirt bike plastics, but not on a motorcycle. Ruined a lot of $$$ of parts in just a quick wash.<br />The bottle's nozzle is also not great, it will leak down to your hand while trying to spray it, resulting in a slippery bottle.
S100 Now Seems Inferior to Prior Formulation
Many years ago, I would have rated S100 a five-star product. The formula seems ti have been modified some way, perhaps due to environmental or other regulations. The product in its current form does not work nearly as well as the former did. I still have to use a brush on many areas where, in the past, after spraying with S100 would only require a quick rinse with the hose.
Excellent Cleaner
I just finished washing my bike, and am amazed at how well the cleaner worked! Really wish I took some before and after photos- it easily cleaned off grime that I couldn't get with dish soap and sponges/brushes.<br />Definitely recommend the cleaner, just wish it was about half the price.
Not the magic bullet
This is a better alternative to traditional soap and water as it get into areas where dirt and grime are hard to get at. I found it to be a decent degreaser, but not great. It usually takes two applications to remove really grimy parts. For that reason, it didnt seem to last as long as I thought. But, my biggest complaint is that you cant leave it on for more than a few minutes on rubber coated and matt finishes or IT WILL LEAVE SPOTS. So, then you have to buff out those spots, which kind of defeats the purpose of this product in the first place.
YouTube cruiser owners use S100
A very helpful and knowledgeable staff member at the University Dr. location found it for me. It came in a box with a sponge, and a pamphlet detailing the list of S100 products along with S100's history. My bike looked the way it did when I bought it from the seller 10 months ago. It was my first time washing her. I am glad I found S100. It is the go to for YouTube cruiser biker owners.
I had high expectations of this stuff, since it's in virtually every bike mag out there and seems to be the "gold standard" in terms of bike cleaners. They heavily advertise it's a spray-on, rinse off deal, no scrubbing. <br /><br />I found it to be a very mediocre cleaner. The spray on/rinse off method works decent for very light dust/dirt or mild road grime. Bugs, grease, chain lube, brake dust it didn't even touch without getting out the scrub brush, even after letting it soak (which the directions say NOT to do, this stuff is so awesome it isn't needed)and even then it wasn't doing great and needed frequent re-application. I burned through half the bottle in one wash, not very economical. Plus, you have to rinse it with a hose, not convenient for on the road cleaning. <br /><br />The $6 cans of Honda spray polish work massively better on everything. It's practically magic how it makes brake dust vanish, and even dry crusty bugs only need a minute or two "soak" and they wipe right off, no water required. I've tried a LOT of motorcycle specific cleaning products, and I have yet to find anything that works better or easier than the cheap Honda stuff.
Good Stuff
I have a 2010 Bonneville with a Scott auto chain oiler. Needless to say the rear tire/rim get pretty grungy. I just sprayed this product on it with no prep and washed it off with cold water and it really came cleaner than I expected! Using it regularly should help. I'll buy this again!
Works great
Just spray this stuff on and hose off and your bike will look like new again.
Great product. .Just don't bother with spray bottle
After 15 mins trying to get the spray head onto the bottle I gave up. Small sips of cleaner and spit onto bike. Took a little longer but teeth never whiter! Seriously, great product but what's with the spray bottle? Had to hold spray with one hand bottle the other.
Cleans well but doesn?t spray
Products works as expected. Th spray nozzle is a failure did not work at all.
Good product
Would definitely deal with again
Good
I was surprised. This actually does work better than soap and water.
Good stuff
My friend turned me on to this stuff and have been using it for I guess 9 years. Works great and have not looked for other products
S100 cleaner
Seems to work well; a lot better<br />Than Simple Green.
BEST WAY TO WASH YOU BIKE!!
This is an awesome product. You spray it on and wash it off. I do this for the bike. If there are any hard spots, such as cooked on bugs or tar, I hit them again. If in a rush, I stop there. A bit more wiping with the product on leaves a great finish. I dry with a microfiber cloth. Best and easiest way to make you bike look awsome. I also noted it tends to refresh the look of moderately older plastics.
My motorcycle never looked so clean
Easy to use spray on and wash off. My motorcycle was clean without any extra scrubbing.
S100 bike cleaner.
Great product. Wish I could get it in larger size.
Forget the included sprayer
Been using this for 4 years now. It's great as long as you wash it off thoroughly otherwise it leaves white marks.<br /><br />Do not even bother with the sprayer. Buy a 5 gallons sprayer and fill it with the 5 gallons refills, it'll make your life much easier.
Confusing instructions
The instructions say: spray on, rinse off.<br /><br />No amount given, and nothing about agitation. I wound up using almost an entire bottle on one bike, and it was still dirty afterwards, as if I just rinsed it with plain water.<br /><br />So I mixed some into a bucket and did my other bike. It seemed to work. But certainly not better than a gigantic thing of car wash concentrate.<br /><br />I don't get it.
Serious soap
Don't leave it on the bike after you spray it on. IMMEDIATELY go over the spray with a damp rag (on fairing) or brush (on wheels) and then copiously rinse them off. Otherwise the soap will dry and leave droplet marks. Repeat as necessary. Honestly I would use something gentler for the upper fairing, and only use this one for the wheels and engine area. I have used it on the chain without any obvious bad effect, but if it completely strips the lubrication off the o-rings, it may allow water into the sealed part between the chain links. So maybe just use chain cleaner and not this one.
Works better than regular soap
Made it easy to wash the bike and turns out better. Bottle could use some improvements but it is what it is, just a spray bottle. If you feel like treating your baby, this would be a good way to do it.
Cleaned my bike well
I thought this cleaner did very well for the more hidden parts of my bike and the engine. I didn't have a hose so it dried a bit spotty on my paint and plastic but cleaned that off with a little lube. Goes a long way as well.
great cleaner
easy to use. spray on, use sponge if you want to get tough spots, rinse off. spotless bike.
Outstanding cleaner
This is the first time I purchased this product after learning about it on the Motorcycles & MisFits podcast. The product really worked well. Since my bike was dirty and grimey, I first washed it quickly. Then I applied the S100 and rinsed off the product with high pressure nozzle from my garden hose. I was very impressed with how the product works and I'll definitely purchase it in the future.
Works...and FAST!
I used the S100 cleaner on my motorcycle and it worked VERY well on all surfaces. Squeaky clean, literally. As the directions say, your bike needs to be cool to start with. If it isn't cool, then spray it down with some cool water first. Then, once you apply the S100 spray, be ready to hose it down with your heaviest pressure setting ASAP, until no suds can be seen appear!! This will ensure that all of the product has been rinsed off the bike along with the dirt. It is QUICK!! Then just wipe your bike down to dry it. DONE!
It's More Than Just a Quick Clean
Put simply, it really is the easiest, quickest, and most thorough way to clean your ride.
Excellent For Where I Use It
I've been using this stuff for years to clean my motorcycles. After a long ride I usually set my bike in the driveway on the center stand and when the engine cools a bit I spray the S100 on the wheels, engine, forks, swing arm and the under side of the rear fender which is usually open and accessible. I try to avoid getting it on painted areas, the seat, controls, windshield and so on because I'm afraid that it's too strong for these surfaces. After a short wait I rinse off the S100 then wash the entire bike with car wash using a sponge and large, soft brush on a handle. After a thorough rinse I use microfiber cloths then either take the bike for a ride or use a leaf blower to speed the process and finish things off with another microfiber cloth. The S100 does an excellent job removing dirt, grease, mud, chain lube, etc from the areas where I applied the stuff and the bike just sparkles after this process. I love a clean bike, love cleaning my bikes and this product is a must have for me.
S100 totally satisfied.
Nothing has made cleaning our bikes easier, 30 minutes from start to finish. And that includes drying and blowing off the bike. Ready to ride. I have used S100 for over 10 years and have never found any adverse effects on any of the finishes of the bikes.
Does the job!
USEFUL
Works well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Works
Been using on motorcycles over 30 years. Cleans brake dust, road grim and oil fantastic.
Best stuff
It works as advertised, it’s very easy to use and the bugs come off easily. I will be ordering more next week
Haven't used this bottle yet. Used some of friend's before. That's why I got my own. Great product.
this is the best stuff I have ever used, period.......
Excellent
This is a great product, works well and makes washing easy.
words great. came fast
Have used s100 for over twenty years and it is a terrific product
This stuff is awesome! Yes you have to wash it off well, but I was so impressed with how clean the bike was after words. The bugs rinsed right off of the windshield and the black and brown soot at the end of my slip-ons, rinsed right off! No more scrubbing! I will definitely be ordering again!
Great stuff! Good for off road
Love this stuff. Took off 2 day old dried up dirt from my grom and Dr 650. Best bang for your buck if you dont like scrubbing ??
You cant beat S100
Works great on old grit and oil grime. Is much better and doesnt cause damage like pressure washer.<br />I recommend
Great Cleaner
The best cleaner i've used on my bike. Very easy to use and an excellent product.
Cleans very well
The best cleaner I've ever used, go back to it every season.
Very good product
5 Stars
Great product. Completely satisfied.
5-Star
I have used this product many times in the past , works as advertised , easy to use , will buy again when needed.
Great cleaner for any motorcycle
This cycle cleaner can do most cleaning tasks on a bike and if you have to clean your chain it works for that and the cleaner comes with a sponge and it cleans metal well and leaves it Shining.
Great STUFF!!!
This cleaner is incredible! The dirt just dripped off!! The sprayer is BAD but once in a new bottle you will be glad for your purchase!!
Not bad for a spray on
I am the kind of person who will clean the crap out of my car and bike. However, after I moved to NC, I can't keep up with the rain anymore and wanted to try something easier to use. <br /><br />The S100 is pretty good for cleaning bikes that aren't too dirty. I tested the cleanness after the wash and most parts are clean enough to pass my microfiber test.
S100 Cycle Cleaner
Works like a charm, I had some alcohol residue on my windshield and after using soap and water, it won't come off. I decided to use this s100 Cycle Cleaner product on it and it magically disappeared. I also use it to wash my 08 r6 and it works very well. Highly recommend!
This stuff is awesome!
I've only used it once but this stuff is great! Just spray on and wash off so simple. Worked better than I expected. Great for cleaning all the tight nooks and crannies in the engine area. I even used it on my wheels for my car so I don't have o scrub so much
So easy
My bike looks new, and all I did was spray some S100 and some water. Granted it wasn't horribly dirty to begin with, but this was so simple and easy I might as well just wash my bike more often. The quantity doesn't seem large, however you only need to spray very little to get the job done. 1 bottle can easily last 10+ washes, which might be 2-3 years (YMMV).
Excellent product makes the chrome sparkle like new
Works fantastic for cleaning the bike after a long road trip.
Works very well.
works awesome
Cuts wash time down by a third or more. Good product.
I recommend this for weekly cleaning to keep your bike looking great.
This stuff works great. A friend of mine suggested I try it and I am glad I did. Spray on and wash off and your bike looks new.
works great on chrome,engine and painted sufaces
works great
Works as advertised
Worked as promised.
Worked as promised. Very happy. Need to REALLY rinse well though, as some residue will remain.
This product works great & a great price com you guys!
Just wash off the dirt
Just spray on, rinse off and dry. No need to keep wasting sponges by getting grit and grime all over them. Doesn't leave spots on chrome or paint. Excellent product to drastically cut down cleaning time.
Nothing cleans and restores the wrinkle black on a Harley motor than S100.
great product and delivered on time.
Makes the wash day much quicker and easier
I used to use dishwashing soap, a bucket, lot's of different sponges, and rags to wash my bike. This stuff is way easier. It sprays on, rinse off with water, then wipe down with a nice set of lint free rags.<br /><br />Be careful to fully rinse it off though. Once it dries, it makes a gooey film that's hard to get off. Also, it'll erase the numbers off of license plate registration stickers. So, be careful with that.
Allows quick clean up of the cycle.
I have used this product over the years and find it to clean all sections of the bike with great results. I use the sponge supplied with the kit and rinse with lots of water until the surface is free of cleaner.
not crazy for this product left residue on my leather :( !
Easy clean with S100
Keeps my bike healthy and clean!
Best wash I have ever found. Love the entire line of products.
Very good product, makes cleaning a snap..
