Product Overview
The S100 Total Cycle Cleaner is a revolutionary spray-on, rinse-off cleaning solution specifically formulated for motorcycles. Its unique composition allows it to penetrate and lift dirt from every crevice of your bike without the need for scrubbing. This product is designed to clean the entire motorcycle, including the engine, fairings, and painted surfaces, providing a sparkling finish in as little as 5 minutes. It is safe for use on all cycle surfaces such as paint, chrome, alloy, plastic, rubber, bearings, and O-rings. The cleaner is non-acidic, pH controlled, contains corrosion inhibitors, and is biodegradable, making it an environmentally conscious choice. Beyond motorcycles, it is also effective for cleaning marine equipment, lawn and garden machinery, snowmobiles, and car and truck engines.

Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for optimal cleaning results:
- Pre-wet Motorcycle: Before applying the cleaner, thoroughly wet your entire motorcycle with water. This is especially important in warm weather to prevent the cleaner from drying too quickly on surfaces. Use a gentle stream of water or a pressure washer from a reasonable distance.
- Apply S100 Cleaner: Spray the S100 Total Cycle Cleaner generously over all surfaces of your motorcycle. Ensure complete coverage, including the engine, wheels, fairings, painted areas, and windshield. The product is safe for all these surfaces.
- Immediate Rinse: Do not allow the cleaner to dry on the motorcycle surface. Immediately after spraying the entire bike, rinse it thoroughly with a pressure washer or strong hose stream. The cleaner works by lifting dirt, which is then washed away with the rinse water. Pay attention to all areas to ensure no residue remains.
- Drying: After rinsing, allow the motorcycle to air dry or use a clean, soft microfiber towel to dry the surfaces.

Maintenance
To maintain the effectiveness and longevity of your S100 Total Cycle Cleaner:
- Storage: Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Cap Securely: Always ensure the cap or spray nozzle is securely fastened after each use to prevent evaporation or spills.
- Nozzle Care: If the spray nozzle becomes clogged, rinse it with warm water.
Troubleshooting
Addressing common issues during cleaning:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| White spots or residue after drying | Cleaner was allowed to dry on the surface before rinsing. | Immediately re-wet the affected area, re-apply S100, and rinse thoroughly without delay. Ensure the motorcycle is pre-wet, especially in warm conditions. |
| Ineffective cleaning on heavy grime | Extremely heavy or caked-on dirt. | For very stubborn areas, a light agitation with a soft brush or sponge during the application phase, followed by immediate rinsing, may be beneficial. |
| Product not spraying correctly | Clogged nozzle or improperly attached spray hose. | Check that the spray hose is securely attached. Remove the nozzle and rinse it under warm water to clear any blockages. |
