    We have hard water here, used the S100 for a while but
    always ended up waxing or using that instant detailing cleaner after to get
    rid of the water spots, then polishing chrome ugh, a simple clean up
    went into a full blown detail...

    More so the hard water and S100 (and a lot of soaps) don't mix well...

    The Mr Clean does the trick, now you have to get the soap
    that results in quick dry and leaves no spots, Still use the mini blower to
    get water out of the cracks and crevices.

    If you haven't done the dryer softener sheet on bugs yet
    give it a shot next time, you won't use anything else, plus your
    bike smells rain fresh afterwards LOL

    Well, I always like my bike to smell good, but prefer Old Spice better.

    Someone told me once to rub fabric softener sheets on exposed skin to keep mosquitoes from biting, and sure enough it works. Now I have another reason to steal the wife's laundry supplies. Thanks hotroadking!
