Yeah, I traditionally like the silver lumps, but a professional job was done on the CB1100 - reminds me of the quality of ye olde '84 Honda CB750S.

This actually works! I bought a trail bike from a guy who did this and the thing still looked new after 3 years.

Also great for removing hard water spots from glass/paint.

Scottoiler 365 is well suited to the CB, it does a good job on the engine and other parts and benefits from being water soluble.
