The original, blue, Dawn Dishsoap is also good for this and everything else on your bike Mark.  However, like the simple green, it will strip your wax off the paint.

It has an immulsifier in it (the only dishsoap that does) so it also works well on oil spots on your driveway or to clean and degrease your car or truck motor.  I've used it a lot but I don't think I've even used it on a hot motor.

Purple Slice works on a hot motor. I watched the guy warm up his motor and melt plastic and micro fibre cloth right on the pipes and clean right off with Purple Slice. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it.

Would Scrubbing Bubbles be to harsh for a black engine? A buddy of mine told me he talked some old time biker that swears by Whisk laundry detergent in a spray bottle. I usually give mine the old wipe down with wet microfiber towels, but my engine is in need of a good cleaning soon. I would think whatever you use it's always best to clean it cold, not hot.

C'mon guys, still no reply about Scrubbing Bubbles on a black engine?? I have a can ready to go and my bike is filthy, but afraid to take the leap just yet. I did some digging and there are some guys I found on a BMW forum (with before/after pics) using it for engine cleaning and love it, not sure if that HD black is as tough as BMW black however.

I have found the best thing for me on chrome for removing bugs and what not, is Windex...Spray it on .. let it sit..spray again...and then wipe off.  But thats just me.  Never thought of using scrubbing bubbles...!

Dick I like it because it leaves everything streak free.  No going back having to polish chrome. Have to admit first time I tried it I looked around to make sure no one was watching.  Didn't want the neighbor to call the Looney bin.

There seems to be several versions of Scrubbing Bubbles; which one are you using Chains?

Be sure an use the original Scrubbin Bubbles, not the one with chlorine.

Here's the one I have always used. By the way I used it on my 1996 ultra with the black motor too.
