What was the problem with your Harley Chappers?  It can't have been that bad if you kept it for 6 years.

It was a 2014 Fat Bob bought with 10k on it, never took it out in the rain, always cleaned and acf50 over winter but that didn't stop the front and rear mudguards from rusting, constant issues with front brake making light stay on despite reservoir rebuild, just not good build quality IMHO, it was almost like it was put together with leftover parts, glad to be shot of it.

Rang HD shop today, still on their shelves, reckon its same stuff as S100, amazing product, spray, forget. Back in black, lasts forever, almost. My last can of 3, S100 has one more spray, taken 7 yrs of use to finish.  :grin:

Is this stuff a paint or cleaning product?

Not paint, not sure what it really is. Makes motor look superb. IMO.
