    sup folks .....anyone care to compare the two products? some friends and i will be going to our annual myrtle beach "bike week" trip and i would like to be able to keep our bikes and cars in decent shape while there for 5 or so days. no hardcore cleaning just keeping them fresh from the previous days ride. i took onr last year but the whole bucket thing got old fast. would love to be able to use a pump sprayer and some towels. and will not be using it in the sun. i have used the ecosmart and it worked very well on my truck but has carnuba in it and several bikes are a satin color and has raw polished wheels so would rather not use this product. any thoughts?

    o another note ....is it me or is it quiet around here? im thinking its spring and everyone is out enjoying detailing

    I'll be in MB the 18th-20th, in Daytona this year I used ONR as a QD and it worked great, for the bugs that showered us in Ga. I used MSUG mixed with Zep Citrus and a hose from the hotel. The more rallies I go to the less I clean, I don't ride a show queen and people who look at my bike usually are looking at the parts that I have made for my bike not how clean it is. I usually just want the bugs and road grime off, which is where either the MSUG Zep mix is used or s100 total cycle cleaner comes in, S100 is great stuff, spray on and rinse away and it will take off almost everything, you may wanna presoak with either zep citrus or 1Z insect.

    Do you ride or trailer the bikes?
    Are you staying in a hotel, campground, condo, sleeping on the beach(lol, I tried on year)?

    Then S100 total cycle cleaner, a water hose, and a bottle of spray wax and a stack of MF is all you need.

    What do you ride maybe I'll see you there. I'll be on this
