G’day mate, just watched your video from all the way over here in Australia. Thanks a lot for the advice mate really helped a lot. Was rather torn between the Harley products and other outside Harley products so certainly helped. Do you have any advice on what type of detergents to use to wash a Harley and also is there something different to use for the wheels given that you are dealing with brake dust and road grime and all sorts
@@jeremiahokeefe1569 thakn you so much for checking it out!! I use any type of PH balanced soap to wash them...most car wash soaps are perfect...it wont strip the wax off your bike...that being said, about every 2 years ai will specifically use dishwashing liquid that is designed to remove grease, which remove your wax as well. Get it back to clear coat and start with a fresh coat of wax. On stuborn dirty wheels I will use Duracoating Wheely Clean. Not sure if you can get thatover there but you can also use S100 Wheel cleaner...it works pretty good too...if the brake dust is heavy it just takes more elbow grease and maybe doing it a few times. I hope this helps!
Back riding Harley’s last 15 years have owned 6 Harley’s during that time. I have owned 3 my wife 3 so I am the fleet maintenance guy . This is a simple review for this 63 year old rider / owner.S100 is all I will ever use.There is a relationship between using S100 total cycle cleaner on a regular basis and use of the S100 engine brighter.I use the brightener maybe twice per season.traded my 2010 Road Glide custom this summer original owner general manager gave me top dollar for my trade couple weeks later was in his shop asks . “What do you clean your motor with?” I told him .” Why I asked? “My guys in the back said it was the cleanest motor ever brought into the shop.oh and it sold in four days never made it to the sales floor.” Smiled walked over to the garage section grabbed a bottle of S100 total cleaner and engine brighter on the way out.
Have used the S100 on several bikes. Works well. I think the key is to use light coats. It does cost more. So after seeing this video and realizing their really is any difference in the overall final result, I’ll probably use the cheaper products and save a few bucks. Once again a terrific video. Thank you 🤟🏼
I have a 2003 ultra classic that motor is total grey. At first I was hesitant about using HD, I have seen you tubes on the other 2 products. Thank you very much for your video. I will try the HD product. I bought our bike earlier this year and doing a very major detail overhaul on the paint, engine and chrome.
Thank you for the support! And if you have any questions just hit me up on the air ride. Im slackin on comments this past few weeks..im usually pretty quick about answering these
Been using S100 fir 20 years. Especially on my 01 Cvo Road Glide with a silver engine. It still look nicer then new at 69.000 miles.. its my go to sealer. Deffinatly detergent resistance. That keystone any coating is that the surface is clean properly.
I used to buy the pig spit in the blueish colored cans normally found at Harley or independent Bikes shops. At the time I also seen the the stuff in the black cans labeled pig spit which I always thought and was told was a copy cat of great product and was warned away from it. The pig Spit in the blueish colored cans clearly said in the instructions it could be used on any surface including paint it also warned obviously not to use on seats grips tires ( anything requiring traction DuHHH) Anyways I used to wash and blow dry my bikes with the seat off and I would coat every part I could with pig spit paint work, chrome, wires, connectors, nuts, bolts, exhaust ( everything pretty much but the obvious ) If I was going on a long ride or I knew I couldn't wash my bikes for some reason for a month or two even after long trips in the rain even in bug season I would not wipe any of the product off except off of parts where the product could heat up and possible collect dirt causing stains or the product could creep onto tires grips etc Meaning leave that stuff on and your chrome nut bolts frame etc will resist rust that much better than if you wiped it all off going for a mirror shine on everything. All I can say is I never had rust or pitting problems on any of my bikes. I cannot say for sure which pig spit is the true original or which was better or if they are in fact the same just different batches from the same maker. I will say when I wanted to take the time to wax painted areas after using pig spit I would just not coat the tin work on purpose wipe off any over spray then wax like normal. I used pig spit on paint as a quick and easy spray detailer for paint when I was too rushed or felt the bike did not need the time spent on waxing tins.
Nice video. I have used WD-40 on my engine and all black parts for years. Use the spray nozzle for tight spaces and use a sponge to apply in the larger easy to reach areas. Have used it on my 1992 Heritage Softail since 1995. Works well and lasts for months.
Hey John ...agreed. Ive used WD40 for years but holy crap if I mention that in a video I get ripped! Its crazy. Youre motors gonna catch on fire! the comments are nuts. tons of gusy have used it for years with no issues.
I'd say this stuff is like seasoning a skillet or other surface. Adding the silicone-based spray gives you that amount of corrosion resistance you need. Now I have to decide on which one I want, or just use Pam or WD-40. HAHA! Great video! Glad I searched for something. Drives me crazy, trying to polish my chrome and one slight touch of the cleaner to the black and it's permanently white.
I watched the video and decided to try the HD Engine Bright on my 2005 Road King. Amazing, that bike hasn't looked that good since I bought it! From here on I'm sold on this spray.
Trick I have learned with the Harley Product, after washing my bike and drying properly, I will spray a light coat, wipe off excess from chrome, then warm the engine up to let the metals expand and absorb the product, then spray another light coat and wipe off excess let dry and review the results
Lemon Pledge, on the same parts, smells good, last fine, simple to use, and cost about 5. bucks...Used it on my Superglide, Streetglide, Heritage, and Slim.....
The problem is that all of these products are sticky/tacky when dry and dust sticks to it in a second making it look worse than it did before spraying it.
I haven't had that problem at all. I applied the engine bright 6/22 and it still looks good. on 3/23. I will however put another application on when the weather warms up.
Old video I know, but the HD stuff is essentially silicone lube spray. Everything sticks to it. Siligon is a better product to use than that stuff. It's silicone free. Can't go wrong with Pig Spit or S100. In a tight spot, use WD-40 or a silicone lube spray. Preferably water resistant.
You are correct but...SILIGON says its for plastic, rubber and vinyl....you use it on the black on the motor? And if you do how does it hold up over time?
I used the HD brightener on my Fatbob and my Sporty..... the silicone base tipped me off to just use the Autozone carried silicone spray... liked it just as good as the HD, for less money. My Fatbob has the denim black..which was "greyed out". Since I'm not concerned about repainting the bike... I wipe the denim paint with the same stuff. Looks great to me..and easy to maintain.
Buy a case of 12 of pig Spit which works out to $9 a can. Lasts for 3 years including my Street Glide (using it for 11 years and looks factory new), three cars, and truck. Mist comes off easy on paint and chrome and makes it even more shiny. Dries in minutes and heat of engine doesn’t bother it. No issues with dust or dirt sticking I’ve see. Hides scratches too…🤟
You will probably think Im crazy or have way too much time on my hands but this is what I do. I get the pig spit or the S100 can and turn it upside down....Push the button or put it in a wood clamp and hold the button down until all the propellant is gone. Once the can is empty, and I make sure its empty....Shake it really good and then use one of the old time can openers and put a hole in the can. Pour the liquid out and into a small glass jar. I then load it into my ...ready for this...airbrush....I can surgically put this stuff on without hitting any or the chrome and I use allot less than spraying it from the can.
Thats pretty smart as the cans do only have one spray pressure...off and full blast so there is a lot of build up and waste when it only needs a fine coat. Smart!
sorry for the ater reply..been at sturgis. Ive been sticking with the HD stuff...still cheaper than the others and works and lasts about trhe same...but they all work well!
@@sikbaggersNo worries on the late reply. Just back home from a 7 day Alaskan cruise...No regular internet anyway. When the Pig Spit runs out, I might follow your lead.
Great side by side comparison and appreciate your time to review these products. I have used WD-40 and seems to work well but expensive. I also have a full can of T-9 that I use on my boat electrical system and wondering if you have ever used or heard of it being used. I was thinking I would try it out but thought I would ask first. Thanks Steve
Ive heard of guys using wd40 before..heck back in the day im pretty sure thats all guys used..all of these are an oil based spray similar to wd 40...although they may have a hotter flash point.
In the fall, when I mothball the bikes, I give them a good bath and hose them down with Pig Spit. Everything but the seats, tires, pegs and grips get covered. In the spring, I roll them out and wipe em down with a microfiber rag, and they look like new. BK.
I've always thought the s-100 products were to pricey. The HD Engine Brightener works just as well. Never tried the Pigskin product because I am satisfied with the HD product results at a cheaper cost than the s-100. Agree with your analysis Nice comparison on all 3 products. 👍❤
The million dollar question...how long does an application last? Does it dry and absorb into the paint/metal to the point that dust etc doesn't instantly attach to it like armor all tire shine does?
im not sure on the other 2 yet, ill update everyone...but the HD stuff lasted all season...I know if it looks wet, shits gonna stick...if you do very slight coats and just make it black youll be fine..I worried about that too.
Richard Edwin I found that pig spit lasted a lot longer than s100. I detail my bike every 2500 miles and it lasts the whole time. Put that on, polish the chrome, cleaner wax and then a polish. Motor stays nice and clean the whole time. Been using it 20+ years and swear by it.
Great comparison on the application methods, but how well does each withstand heat, washes and/or rain? How frequently are you having to reapply? Longterm test....? Thanks as always for the video.
Thanks Brian...I will update everyone with a video on that. The HD Cleaner lasted all season before I needed to hit it again. The HD and the s100 say detergent resistant however the pig spit does not. The HD stuff lasted all season and I did a light coat this spring and it looks new again.
S100- I can only speak for myself but I picked up a `07 FatBoy last year with only 6,000 miles that was a little neglected as far as being cleaned. It was a bike that was on the east coast near the ocean so it had some corrosion. I clean my bikes a lot during the summer months and even winter if I`m able to ride. The S100 brought it back to like new condition as I`m sure the others would have also. I also put a lot of miles on the bikes, usually about 30,000 miles a year between the two. Here`s the kicker, after countless cleanings I only had to use the S100 2x last year on my FLSTF engine. The stuff stays on after washing and stays put very well. I just finished the can with my initial spring cleaning of the bike. So that`s 3 uses but it lasted all year long even during winter riding..Just my experience with the S100..I also use the engine brightener on everything but the tank and fenders..
Sorry I missed this comment til now...thank you for your review on it as well. I am anxious to see how the 3 hold up over the summer with the rain we have been getting. On our bike the HD cleaner lasted a long time but our bike doesnt get wet....strictly use the waterless wash method because of all of the speakers. This black bike however gets wet, plenty...so we will see....thanks again for your input man...much appreciated
Practical unbiased useful information, Loveed It! Thank you!! Got a can of Pig Spit in the garage, going to feel great about using that today and I can clean up my saddle bags while I’m at it.
I am late to this video, thank you for the comparison. seems like i need to detail the chrome and other overspray spots no matter what I use. I have a can of pig spit in my shop, still on the shelf after buying it 8 months ago due to what it says about plastics etc. said nothing about engine detailing. I will give it a try, how did you clean the overspray off the chrome. I have a ton of chrome
great video, yes like that you made that comparison. I use the pig spit on my electra glide and have know problem with the product. It shines it up making it look good.
Thank you Xavier! Much appreciated! Tell your friends and fellow riders about us if you get a chance...that really helps! Thanks for checking out the videos too.
Great video. The real test is how long does it last. I can only comment on the HD and Pig spit. Pig Spit will last on your bike longer than HD engine brightener, and also is good on everything it over sprays on (except floor boards LOL). Ride safe bro.
Hey Tony! Thanks for checking it out man...and Ive had different results from all 3 really..depends a lot on the riding conditions for sure. And yeah...keep it off the seat and floorboards for sure HA!
Awesome vid man.. I love how you broke down the price per oz.. that itself was a question I was going to ask.. another question is, what do you recommend wiping silicone based products of with? Thanks bro..
Thank you for the content! I really appreciate the informative videos that you do on some of the simple maintenance tasks to help us riders save some time and slot of money! Keep up the good work! Ride safe and ride often!
If your looking for a great engine cleaner use Kaboom in the spray can cheap cleaner does the trick Spray on water hose off blow dry then use S100 I also use S100 bike wash an the works power wand is great instead of full blown pressure washer
Thanks for this video. I think I saw the fins clear up as well? Or is that an optical illusion. The cylinder cooling fins on my 1900 dont look so good. Im not sure if I should use, steel wool, or 220 sandpaper to bring back to that nice aluminum look. But it seems the pig spit made them look much better. Is this how they do those fins? Im not sure how to approach cleaning them up. If this product does that (seems to work in video) I will go that way, or am I wasting my money? Any advise is appreciated from any readers. Thanks in advance
Hey Monte...cleaning with a 220 and a something flat like a popsicle stick works the best,,however the steel wool works pretty good too..thats how I clean them and its really not too bad..just alittle time consuming. This stuff is basically a silicone based spray that makes the black pop a little bit and not look so ashey.
How to get the fin ends shiny, take some very fine sand paper between 800 to 1200 grit soaked in water and a small piece of wood and sand the fins with only a moderate amount of pressure. Do a test first.
So I just used mother’s back to black in a spray can on my motor and the black part of my stock enforcer wheel. It looks awesome. I think I payed $10 for the can. Not sure how long it’s going to last but I put it on my f150 and it last a long time
Just bought the HD brightener... about to remove my sportster wheels..to "detail" them. Need polishing..but the painted section is greyed out. Wondering if that will help bring back the paint? Thouhgts? Obviously, I'll be careful to remove any excess spray..and keep it off the tires.
Excellent video! I'm completely new to this as I just got my first bike which is used and needs a deep cleaning. So where does all the grime and stuff go when you use these products? Does it just disappear? It would be great if anyone would have a video on how to clean "dirty" bikes. Tons of how to clean clean bikes but not one "dirty bike" how to. Thanks again for the video!
Yes sir,...I noticed that on mine...got a little wax on there and this took it right back to black....of course I hit that spot with an old toothbrush too but did a great job
My question is: How did the engines look after a month or so of riding? I mean which product seem to retain a more black luster look? Thanks for the Great demo too.
They all pretty much held up the same...all 3 of these are silicone based so it will collect dust over time as it sticks tot he silicone..havent really found one that doesnt do that though...not yet..im still looking.
thank you ken! and its the Klockwerks Flare amzn.to/3JOjmoF and ive been through so many windshields in my day and the klockwerks are by far the toughest ones out there as far as impact resistance goes and if you got the proper size you it will kick the air up and over you and your passenger. And yes there are cheap knockoffs of these but they are just that...cheap and scratch super easy, fade in time and will crack...im not affiliated with them in any way...but its the only windshield I will buy for my bikes.
there isnt much overspray with any of them..just be carefula nd watch where your aiming...however the clean is as easy as wiping it off...no scrubbing..just wipe it off.
Remember guys clean your motor first then apply it's not a cleaner it's a brighter and yes wipe off resado and yes he is right HD suff all the way it last the longest
Thanks JP...yeah I think after using these all I will stick with the HD stuff to be honest. Last the longest and price per ounce is spot on. Have a great Christmas!
If the HD engine brightener is your favourite, save yourself heaps of money and buy CRC 808 silicone spray. CRC 808 silicone spray is IDENTICAL to HD engine brightener, check the formulas on the cans....IDENTICAL.
Sorry I'm late responding but thank you for checking it out! I have still been using the HD version to be honest and this was shot a couple of years ago...still works great and the cheapest of the 3
Very good video. Im always looking for bike cleaning products. I use "Bike Brite" on my 2020 Heritage Classic. Spray it on, wait 5-10 seconds and hose it off. No worries, spray it everywhere it cleans chrome, painted areas, leather.
great vid Steve, luve 2c more vids, on F11 and just basic cleaning vids on spoke wheels, engine, chrome stuff, wld be great. Can you recommend either chrome polish and/or engine bay cleaner/general spray foam cleaners for our bikes sold at autozone or walmart?
Recently discovered this channel and I'm loving it. Don't know if it's true or not because I've never tried it, but someone told me regular silicone spray will work just as well. Has anyone else heard that? I've always used the S100 brightener on my Night Train.
Hey thank you!! Im not sure on the silicone ....might be worth a shot...im not sure oif this stuff is kinda watered down version of silicone but I know its silicone based...I wonder if the straight silicone would allow more dirt to stick to it? Might give that a try and see
@@sikbaggers I've never had the guts to try it for that reason. Would be nice if it did work. I have a can of CFC brand silicone I bought at Walmart to use on my car windows. As I remember it was around 3 bucks.
Hey...yeah I had another guy ask about using it on the black wheels...I was wondering if it would work...seemed to me that it would...thanks for the heads up!
I think that is the same with all 3..if it loks wet things are gonna stick to it. If you do light coats and just get it black and stop itll work decent. Not a bad idea either to dry up those wet areas with the air hose either. Great tip!
I have the (HD) stuff but haven’t used it yet. Just wondering if WD-40 would do the same thing. Used to spray it on painted dirtbike engines and they would shine like new money.
@@sikbaggers by your recommendations I bought it. I haven't used it yet. Maybe next week. Having the CAT out this week. It will be ready Friday. Then the stage 1 is complete.. 😎🤘
hey, great video, have you tested or tried anything for the chrome parts to keep them looking new on the Harley? if so work good enough for you to buy it again? thanks
For the chrome I simply wax the heck out of it...just keeping a protective layer on the chrome finish will go a long way. To polish the chrome I use white diamond metal polish amzn.to/3K3Ayn6 and then follow up with the wax
Thank you Joe...been using all 3 products on various bikes and they all seems to hold about the same .,..ill probably buy the HD again when im out. Seemed like the best deal for the money and i like the shine it gives plus the easy clean up.
I purchased a used 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Limited from a San Antonio Texas dealer and when I drove it home, I had smoke pouring off the engine. I think they used the HD Engine brightener on the engine, and it seems to have burnt off. Have you had any problem with this stuff smoking off, when the heads heat up?
Hey Patricknever seen this stuff smoke , ever...however you'll see some old schoolers use wd 40 to get the same effect and yes it will smoke. Wonder if they used that in a pinch maybe
All of them do...they are all sort of like an oil...after a few rides some of that will bake in, for the lack of a better word..but yeah if you live on a dusty or gravel road none of these are a good choice or put it on super light!
yes..all 3 products seem to last about the same...still to this day I purchase the HD brand because of the price per ounce. All three perform the same so it just comes down to the cost.
Yes it maybe...most of us some of that laying around in the shop..Im actually curious how much silicone is in these products,,,maybe as much as the actual silicone....good point and will test that when I get a grubby motor in here again

have been using s100 for 20 yrs. love it
I can't stop riding my bike long enough to wash it 😎
LOL...it happens
Get off the computer and wash it already
@@martincvitkovich724 well I guess I could but I was working waiting to get unloaded so I can have some gas money 😂😎
Lol! Exactly! The choice is... a. Wake up and detail the bike or b. wakeup and ride the bike?? Guess which wins every time!

Meaning leave that stuff on and your chrome nut bolts frame etc will resist rust that much better than if you wiped it all off going for a mirror shine on everything.

WD 40 will draw dirt. A silicone based lubricant, not so much.
I sprayed wd40 on a rag and wiped the mold off my leather jacket. Smells like a shop now haha
I'd say this stuff is like seasoning a skillet or other surface. Adding the silicone-based spray gives you that amount of corrosion resistance you need.

hhmmm going to have to give that a try! Thanks Sonny..worth a shot for 5 bucks
I use Pig Spit and love it.
Pig spit is - best - goes a long way :)
The problem is that all of these products are sticky/tacky when dry and dust sticks to it in a second making it look worse than it did before spraying it.
I haven't had that problem at all. I applied the engine bright 6/22 and it still looks good. on 3/23. I will however put another application on when the weather warms up.
Yes! And I have 1 1/4 mile of dirt road, one way to highway. It's a horror show
S100 is my go to. How it looks when you spray it on is one thing. It is how it looks after a wash or two, or three that really tells. S100 every time.
I do dig the s100 and the HD spray..still not a fan of the pig spit..Ive found those two last the longest
I effuse top coat on everything and after wiping it off it really does work for a long time I thought and I wash my bike a lot
I usePig spit and use the s100 nozzle works great for the tight spots.
and yes No matter what aerosol you use gonna have to wipe down the chrome
Yeah I noticed that with all these...kinda goes everywhere lol
Old video I know, but the HD stuff is essentially silicone lube spray. Everything sticks to it. Siligon is a better product to use than that stuff. It's silicone free. Can't go wrong with Pig Spit or S100. In a tight spot, use WD-40 or a silicone lube spray. Preferably water resistant.

Mist comes off easy on paint and chrome and makes it even more shiny. Dries in minutes and heat of engine doesn’t bother it. No issues with dust or dirt sticking I’ve see. Hides scratches too…🤟
Agreed...buying by the case is much cheaper..I got a 6 pack from ebay for about that price..pretty good deal.
You will probably think Im crazy or have way too much time on my hands but this is what I do. I get the pig spit or the S100 can and turn it upside down....Push the button or put it in a wood clamp and hold the button down until all the propellant is gone. Once the can is empty, and I make sure its empty....Shake it really good and then use one of the old time can openers and put a hole in the can. Pour the liquid out and into a small glass jar. I then load it into my ...ready for this...airbrush....I can surgically put this stuff on without hitting any or the chrome and I use allot less than spraying it from the can.
Thats pretty smart as the cans do only have one spray pressure...off and full blast so there is a lot of build up and waste when it only needs a fine coat. Smart!
@@sikbaggers Thanks....Even a pig finds a truffle now and then...LOL
Thanks Steve, appreciate the info. I think i will go with the HD product.
Thanks for the comparison of the products
I’ve used the pig spit and it seems to work well.
Ride safe brother
Thank you! Yes I like all 3...seems ill probably just get the best one for the price at the time.
Thanks Steve
Keep up the great videos!
Unbiased review and video. Nice to see. I have and use the Pig Spit for now. I might give the S100 a try when I run out of Pig Spit.
sorry for the ater reply..been at sturgis. Ive been sticking with the HD stuff...still cheaper than the others and works and lasts about trhe same...but they all work well!
@@sikbaggersNo worries on the late reply. Just back home from a 7 day Alaskan cruise...No regular internet anyway. When the Pig Spit runs out, I might follow your lead.
Excellent review, thanks. It is good to know I can trust which ever is available. I live overseas and can't always get stuff locally or in the mail.
Yes get which ever one you can get...all lasted about the same and had the same effect on the engine. Thanks for checking it out!
Great side by side comparison and appreciate your time to review these products. I have used WD-40 and seems to work well but expensive. I also have a full can of T-9 that I use on my boat electrical system and wondering if you have ever used or heard of it being used. I was thinking I would try it out but thought I would ask first. Thanks Steve
Ive heard of guys using wd40 before..heck back in the day im pretty sure thats all guys used..all of these are an oil based spray similar to wd 40...although they may have a hotter flash point.
In the fall, when I mothball the bikes, I give them a good bath and hose them down with Pig Spit. Everything but the seats, tires, pegs and grips get covered. In the spring, I roll them out and wipe em down with a microfiber rag, and they look like new. BK.
I've always thought the s-100 products were to pricey.
The HD Engine Brightener works just as well. Never tried the Pigskin product because I am satisfied with the HD product results at a cheaper cost than the s-100. Agree with your analysis
Nice comparison on all 3 products. 👍❤
The million dollar question...how long does an application last? Does it dry and absorb into the paint/metal to the point that dust etc doesn't instantly attach to it like armor all tire shine does?
im not sure on the other 2 yet, ill update everyone...but the HD stuff lasted all season...I know if it looks wet, shits gonna stick...if you do very slight coats and just make it black youll be fine..I worried about that too.
Richard Edwin I found that pig spit lasted a lot longer than s100. I detail my bike every 2500 miles and it lasts the whole time. Put that on, polish the chrome, cleaner wax and then a polish. Motor stays nice and clean the whole time. Been using it 20+ years and swear by it.
A needed video. Made up my mind as to what I need on my Ultra Classic to make her look new again.
Love this stuff...any of the 3 brands work great and last long...I think the HD one lasts a little longer than the the rest though.
Great comparison on the application methods, but how well does each withstand heat, washes and/or rain? How frequently are you having to reapply? Longterm test....? Thanks as always for the video.
Thanks Brian...I will update everyone with a video on that. The HD Cleaner lasted all season before I needed to hit it again. The HD and the s100 say detergent resistant however the pig spit does not. The HD stuff lasted all season and I did a light coat this spring and it looks new again.
I've used the HD brightener on the black part of my wheels also and it seems to help them
Yes sir...it can be put on anything wrinkle black or powder coated.
S100- I can only speak for myself but I picked up a `07 FatBoy last year with only 6,000 miles that was a little neglected as far as being cleaned. It was a bike that was on the east coast near the ocean so it had some corrosion. I clean my bikes a lot during the summer months and even winter if I`m able to ride. The S100 brought it back to like new condition as I`m sure the others would have also. I also put a lot of miles on the bikes, usually about 30,000 miles a year between the two. Here`s the kicker, after countless cleanings I only had to use the S100 2x last year on my FLSTF engine. The stuff stays on after washing and stays put very well. I just finished the can with my initial spring cleaning of the bike. So that`s 3 uses but it lasted all year long even during winter riding..Just my experience with the S100..I also use the engine brightener on everything but the tank and fenders..
Sorry I missed this comment til now...thank you for your review on it as well. I am anxious to see how the 3 hold up over the summer with the rain we have been getting. On our bike the HD cleaner lasted a long time but our bike doesnt get wet....strictly use the waterless wash method because of all of the speakers. This black bike however gets wet, plenty...so we will see....thanks again for your input man...much appreciated
Practical unbiased useful information, Loveed It! Thank you!! Got a can of Pig Spit in the garage, going to feel great about using that today and I can clean up my saddle bags while I’m at it.
Thank you for checking it out Mark, all 3 work and last about the same...any of them will make the engine look tons better.
I am late to this video, thank you for the comparison. seems like i need to detail the chrome and other overspray spots no matter what I use. I have a can of pig spit in my shop, still on the shelf after buying it 8 months ago due to what it says about plastics etc. said nothing about engine detailing. I will give it a try, how did you clean the overspray off the chrome. I have a ton of chrome
great video, yes like that you made that comparison. I use the pig spit on my electra glide and have know problem with the product. It shines it up making it look good.
Thank you!
You deserve more subscribers with all the great videos you make. They re super well done and you’re good on camera
Thank you Xavier! Much appreciated! Tell your friends and fellow riders about us if you get a chance...that really helps! Thanks for checking out the videos too.
Using pig spit for years. Great stuff.
Awesome John...Yep I thik Ill see which ones cheaper when I need it next and grab that one..definitely between the hd and the pig spit though.
I use wd40 on the whole engine and pipes
Great video. The real test is how long does it last. I can only comment on the HD and Pig spit. Pig Spit will last on your bike longer than HD engine brightener, and also is good on everything it over sprays on (except floor boards LOL). Ride safe bro.
Hey Tony! Thanks for checking it out man...and Ive had different results from all 3 really..depends a lot on the riding conditions for sure. And yeah...keep it off the seat and floorboards for sure HA!
Awesome vid man.. I love how you broke down the price per oz.. that itself was a question I was going to ask.. another question is, what do you recommend wiping silicone based products of with? Thanks bro..
I use straight rubbing alcohol on a shop towel or old rag...takes it right off floorboards if u get some overspray .
Thank you for the content! I really appreciate the informative videos that you do on some of the simple maintenance tasks to help us riders save some time and slot of money! Keep up the good work! Ride safe and ride often!
Thank you Kevin and always glad to help! Be safe!
If your looking for a great engine cleaner use Kaboom in the spray can cheap cleaner does the trick Spray on water hose off blow dry then use S100 I also use S100 bike wash an the works power wand is great instead of full blown pressure washer
A short note to say thank you about showing us the shift shaft and lever fix. It happened the next next.day.lol
wow...yeah it happens a lot...I get more comments on that video than any other..that should tell HD something for sure.
Left jug, the pig spit, definitely looked better. Nice and dark, satin finish.
This awesome info !! And complete ! So how did they hold up over time ? Is there a follow up vid ?
Thanks for this video. I think I saw the fins clear up as well? Or is that an optical illusion. The cylinder cooling fins on my 1900 dont look so good. Im not sure if I should use, steel wool, or 220 sandpaper to bring back to that nice aluminum look. But it seems the pig spit made them look much better. Is this how they do those fins? Im not sure how to approach cleaning them up. If this product does that (seems to work in video) I will go that way, or am I wasting my money? Any advise is appreciated from any readers. Thanks in advance
Hey Monte...cleaning with a 220 and a something flat like a popsicle stick works the best,,however the steel wool works pretty good too..thats how I clean them and its really not too bad..just alittle time consuming. This stuff is basically a silicone based spray that makes the black pop a little bit and not look so ashey.
You should try Pig Snot wax. Works great, goes on easy, and comes off easy.
How to get the fin ends shiny, take some very fine sand paper between 800 to 1200 grit soaked in water and a small piece of wood and sand the fins with only a moderate amount of pressure. Do a test first.
Great tip Allan! thanks for sharing man! I actually used some 000 steel wool the other day and that worked great too.
great video and I like that you tested it live and let us learn with you!
Thank you Bryan!
So I just used mother’s back to black in a spray can on my motor and the black part of my stock enforcer wheel. It looks awesome. I think I payed $10 for the can. Not sure how long it’s going to last but I put it on my f150 and it last a long time
ah man ill have to check that out..havent seen that yet and i use the lotion style all the time on my cars and trucks
Great video inserts/edits on pricing and size of cans, extra detail like on youtube, hard to find!Nice job
Thank you..much appreciated!
Ya what he said and stuff. Lol
Just bought the HD brightener... about to remove my sportster wheels..to "detail" them. Need polishing..but the painted section is greyed out. Wondering if that will help bring back the paint? Thouhgts? Obviously, I'll be careful to remove any excess spray..and keep it off the tires.
Excellent video! I'm completely new to this as I just got my first bike which is used and needs a deep cleaning. So where does all the grime and stuff go when you use these products? Does it just disappear?
It would be great if anyone would have a video on how to clean "dirty" bikes. Tons of how to clean clean bikes but not one "dirty bike" how to. Thanks again for the video!
Do a deep clean with soap, water and a plastic bristle brush first. If you've got oil leaks, you might want to hit it with some engine degreaser too.
It works great after you have gotten wax or chrome polish on the engine.
Yes sir,...I noticed that on mine...got a little wax on there and this took it right back to black....of course I hit that spot with an old toothbrush too but did a great job
My question is: How did the engines look after a month or so of riding? I mean which product seem to retain a more black luster look? Thanks for the Great demo too.
They all pretty much held up the same...all 3 of these are silicone based so it will collect dust over time as it sticks tot he silicone..havent really found one that doesnt do that though...not yet..im still looking.
Pig Spit is the best shit out there. DGAF what anyone says. I'll always use it!
roger that, you do you man
Enjoy all the videos. But quick question. What windshield are you running on that street glide?
thank you ken! and its the Klockwerks Flare amzn.to/3JOjmoF and ive been through so many windshields in my day and the klockwerks are by far the toughest ones out there as far as impact resistance goes and if you got the proper size you it will kick the air up and over you and your passenger. And yes there are cheap knockoffs of these but they are just that...cheap and scratch super easy, fade in time and will crack...im not affiliated with them in any way...but its the only windshield I will buy for my bikes.
Thanks for the video . Do all three products smell similar?
yeah they all smell like a silicone based spray...nothing fancy
@@sikbaggers thanks for the info
how much cleanup did you have to do with regards to the over spray on other parts? Great video, thanks
there isnt much overspray with any of them..just be carefula nd watch where your aiming...however the clean is as easy as wiping it off...no scrubbing..just wipe it off.
Remember guys clean your motor first then apply it's not a cleaner it's a brighter and yes wipe off resado and yes he is right HD suff all the way it last the longest
Thanks JP...yeah I think after using these all I will stick with the HD stuff to be honest. Last the longest and price per ounce is spot on. Have a great Christmas!
MAN I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDOE’S KEEP THEM COMING.
Thanks for checking them out! Much appreciated!
Hey brother! Thank you for all of your excellent DIY vids! You are awesome and make a great teacher! God bless! Ride safe and keep it up!
Thanks, you too! Appreciate you!
If the HD engine brightener is your favourite, save yourself heaps of money and buy CRC 808 silicone spray. CRC 808 silicone spray is IDENTICAL to HD engine brightener, check the formulas on the cans....IDENTICAL.
Thanks for this Video, good to know, that the all product works, try to test the HD product on my Harley Davidson motorcycles...
Sorry I'm late responding but thank you for checking it out! I have still been using the HD version to be honest and this was shot a couple of years ago...still works great and the cheapest of the 3
I have been wondering if S100 was worth the added price. thank you for this comparison.
Totally awesome from dollar tree I believe is the same thing as S100
I'm at a loss on what product to use on my floorboards that won't make them too slick!
Great job on the video! I like all three of them to, I just look for what's on sale at the time and grab a can.
Absolutely..that's my plan..I see the prices have already changed since I purchased these on Amazon.
Nice video keep it coming .You are bringing lots of info for harley new riders like myself !!love this videos..
Thank you sir! Lots more to come...headed to vegas next week but ill be back the following week with new stuff. Glad it is helped you!. Be safe!
That was cool,I thought I had to live with those areas just turning ashy like u said. I'm about to try that stuff😀
Nice man...youll love the outcome either way you choose to go...they all 3 did great just need to see how long the products last...ill update
I put a different spray nozzle on it with a straw so you can have more control where it goes
yes ive learned to rob my straws off of other cans lol
I use klock werks engine werks .it has a pump spray ,it get all over everything but it's a water base product and wipes of unwanted areas easily
Hey George...I havent seen that one before...ill have to give it a whirl next time...thanks for the heads up!
Very good video. Im always looking for bike cleaning products. I use "Bike Brite" on my 2020 Heritage Classic. Spray it on, wait 5-10 seconds and hose it off. No worries, spray it everywhere it cleans chrome, painted areas, leather.
Sorry for the late reply, just got back from Sturgis ...but yes we have used it here too...and it seems to be a great product!
great vid Steve, luve 2c more vids, on F11 and just basic cleaning vids on spoke wheels, engine, chrome stuff, wld be great. Can you recommend either chrome polish and/or engine bay cleaner/general spray foam cleaners for our bikes sold at autozone or walmart?
Nice job doing the comparison.
Recently discovered this channel and I'm loving it.
Don't know if it's true or not because I've never tried it, but someone told me regular silicone spray will work just as well. Has anyone else heard that? I've always used the S100 brightener on my Night Train.
Hey thank you!! Im not sure on the silicone ....might be worth a shot...im not sure oif this stuff is kinda watered down version of silicone but I know its silicone based...I wonder if the straight silicone would allow more dirt to stick to it? Might give that a try and see
@@sikbaggers I've never had the guts to try it for that reason. Would be nice if it did work. I have a can of CFC brand silicone I bought at Walmart to use on my car windows. As I remember it was around 3 bucks.
Good vid. Use it on my stock black wheels and break calipers. 1st time in 19 years they look brand new...HD product or s100 same stuff.
Hey...yeah I had another guy ask about using it on the black wheels...I was wondering if it would work...seemed to me that it would...thanks for the heads up!
Tiny rocks will stick to s100 . I use a blower tip from my air compressor to remove and dry s 100
I think that is the same with all 3..if it loks wet things are gonna stick to it. If you do light coats and just get it black and stop itll work decent. Not a bad idea either to dry up those wet areas with the air hose either. Great tip!
I really enjoyed watching your shows thank you for all the information that you give us.
thank you for checking us out Robbie...sorry for the late reply still playing catch up from Sturgis trip.
Does the nozzle have the capability of holding a straw?
the ones that do not come with a straw will not hold one...its a spray or mist type nozzle.
I have the (HD) stuff but haven’t used it yet. Just wondering if WD-40 would do the same thing. Used to spray it on painted dirtbike engines and they would shine like new money.
How do they last after a good washing?
Thanks for that video! Those kind of videos are really helpful 😎🤘
Youre very welcome! Be safe!
Oh, since my comment, I went to HD and bought a can 😎🤘
@@carolinarider5237 Its great stuff...I think for the price its the best choice.
@@sikbaggers by your recommendations I bought it. I haven't used it yet. Maybe next week. Having the CAT out this week. It will be ready Friday. Then the stage 1 is complete.. 😎🤘
I appreciate this info. Great video.
hey, great video, have you tested or tried anything for the chrome parts to keep them looking new on the Harley? if so work good enough for you to buy it again? thanks
For the chrome I simply wax the heck out of it...just keeping a protective layer on the chrome finish will go a long way. To polish the chrome I use white diamond metal polish amzn.to/3K3Ayn6 and then follow up with the wax
I've used wd40 for the same thing. Lately I've used back to black by the bog M company. Wd40 makes it easier to clean later.
yeah thats an old school trick before the fancy sprays came out lol
Good video Steve thanks alot it helps me make up my mind.
Thank you Joe...been using all 3 products on various bikes and they all seems to hold about the same .,..ill probably buy the HD again when im out. Seemed like the best deal for the money and i like the shine it gives plus the easy clean up.
I purchased a used 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Limited from a San Antonio Texas dealer and when I drove it home, I had smoke pouring off the engine. I think they used the HD Engine brightener on the engine, and it seems to have burnt off. Have you had any problem with this stuff smoking off, when the heads heat up?
Hey Patricknever seen this stuff smoke , ever...however you'll see some old schoolers use wd 40 to get the same effect and yes it will smoke. Wonder if they used that in a pinch maybe
Just used s100 this past week. It picked up alot of dirt after riding.
All of them do...they are all sort of like an oil...after a few rides some of that will bake in, for the lack of a better word..but yeah if you live on a dusty or gravel road none of these are a good choice or put it on super light!
Great video. I use and love the HD engine brightener.
Thanks!
Sorry for the late reply, I just got back from Sturgis...thanks for checking it out!
I’d like to know how long each one lasted? Does the shine last equally on each product?
yes..all 3 products seem to last about the same...still to this day I purchase the HD brand because of the price per ounce. All three perform the same so it just comes down to the cost.
PIG SPIT #1 🏆
That was a great video! Thank you
I’d be curious what plain ol’ silicone spray does/lasts compared to these as well? Might be worth it too??
Yes it maybe...most of us some of that laying around in the shop..Im actually curious how much silicone is in these products,,,maybe as much as the actual silicone....good point and will test that when I get a grubby motor in here again
