Speaking of S100, does that stuff work well? I've never tried it. Is it
a "spray on and rinse off" product? OK on chrome, paint, aluminum, etc?

Jeff,

In my experience it does work. You just need to apply sparingly and rinse
THOROUGHLY! You need to rinse until it's squeeky. Then I use a chamois to
dry and put on a good carnuba wax.

[Dave]  You have to wash and wax these things?

It works well for average dirt (pollen, road dust, etc.), and yes, it's
spray on, wait a few seconds (usually while spraying other parts), and
rinse off.  Doesn't work all that well on "ground in bugs".  There's an
insect remover for that though. ;-)

S100 will get chrome clean enough, but it doesn't polish it.  For that
Simichrome works well.

Don't be silly.. It's what you do to the bike right before you sell it.  :)

I found that if you let it soak in for a few minutes (don't let it dry  
though) and then use a soft bristle car wash brush (think really big  
hair brush with long bristles) it gets all of the bugs out, even the  
ones that are baked into the mirrors and headlights.

Petition to eliminate Virginia's radar detector ban

by Bob Meyer-2 :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

The National Motorists Association has set up an online petition at its website www.stoptheban.org to accept signatures from those who oppose Virginia's ban against radar detectors.  We have seen increased interest recently in Virginia to change the law.
 
Spread the word to all you know; it will take a grassroots effort to gather enough signatures to grab the attention of state politicians.  With a significant number of signatures on the petition, we will make sure it is delivered to key politicians with a commensurate amount of publicity.
 
Remember that the November elections are not that far away.  Now is the time to sign up to fight the ban of radar detectors in Virginia.
