Cleaning a Harley

Hi can anyone suggest a good cleaning product for a slightly sad looking Harley. Bike suffering from a bit of neglect. Think it had been put away wet and left idle for a number of months. Reallywant to return it to former glory, the way a Harley should look.

Thanks All.

First thing is to do no Harm.
By that I mean not to jump in with harsh soaps or cleaners that may do damage.
Get it clean 1 option is to spay it down with S100 total bike cleaner and wash it maybe couple times if it real bad.
Then see were you are.
Each part requires different care if it is in real sad shape. The engine may clean up real well with the S100 and then followed with Pig spit or s100 enegine bite.
The link that was provided above is a great place to go.
Take your time do no harm and research before you try to clean . Many good ideas have gone south when trying to clean up a bike.
