Default Winter cleaning products?

Sub zero outside but the Dyna is warm in the den. Might as well clean n polish after some stage 1 upgrades. What's a good product for ease of cleaning since using water and a hose might **** off momma lol suggestions?

You don't need any special "Ho-Do" magic cleaning solution @ $14.99 a bottle from anyplace.
Get a spray bottle, mix soap and water like you do for summer washing and a pile of clean rags.
It's not rocket science unless you want to spend your money, a bottle of 409 is cheap and you get to keep the spray bottle.
Buy a new toothbrush and use your old one on the bike.

While that works it also leaves a soap residue requiring an additional step. At least with a regular cleaner can clean n dry w one step,some even have a wax/polishing ingredient.

When I need to wash in the winter(salt residue) I use a paint sprayer with water and a shitload of old newspapers under the bike. Only used about a quart of water to wash the soap off.

Um.yea well aware of what a damp cloth is..I'm not retarded and 10 bucks or less for an all in one cleaner is cheap. If 10 bucks is a big deal I better sell the bike. An all in one saves time and effort and my times worth something as well . If all i wanted to use was water and all day to do it I wouldn't have posted .

Any quick detailer spray on your tins will be fine. As long as you don't have denim paint. Spray, wipe with microfiber. No need for a damp cloth, whatever that is.

You need to set the atomsphere for winter in-den waxing. You'll need a couple of blonde swedish women, like some Abba looking chicks, some herbs, drink, a bear skin, and handful of wax, and just the right music to hook the mood. Wax on, wax off (I wish they would come up with a Abba hot Swedish chick emoji)!
