I think Lucas Slick Mist is just as good, and MUCH less expensive.  Available through Amazon and some stores like Autozone and Walmart.

I've been using spray nine, same product as the S100 products, just much lower cost.

hot water and smidge of car wash soap with soft cotton rag is the cheapest and drying with wet chamois shammy, then use cheapo bottle of turtle wax chrome polish bought anywhere (a dab will do yah) and for paint any old car wax will work.  Been doing this for years and good enough for me.  Why use expensive chemicals when not really needed?  I dislike washing and waxing/chrome polishing my bike doing it 2-4 times per year depending on how ugly it starts to look, but when I do it does take over 1/2 the day to do it right.

Cookie really? if these guys have gotten 16-18 yrs out of one bottle you actually think what you are doing is cheaper? Maybe at one time but damn 18 yrs in one bottle ....

For when I just want to wipe the bike down good without a full out wash I have always used Joe's Juice.
As the years have progressed and I lost touch with Joe Erante I just use Lucas Slick Mist for the wipe downs on my Wing and for a true wash and wax job I use Honda Glare, it really helps keeping the soft new Honda paints looking great.
