Windex, occasional wax,15 min a week tops, bike always looks brand new, much easier to spend a couple minutes at a time.

S100, pressure washer to hose off the whole bike, then hit it with Mr Clean AutoDry to eleiminate spots, then 10 minutes with the leaf blower. 30 minutes start to finish.

Wash? I may use a rag and soapy water to clean a bug or two off....maybe a quick wipe down with a rag on the bars...but other than that, I don't wash it.

Oh wait, I did wash the bracket that holds the rear muffler so I could touch up the gouges from those pesky corners, does that count?

I wash my bike after every ride, it always seems to get a residue on it from the salt air and we usually ride along the Florida Coast.

I use S100, and wax with Macquires monthly, although I would like to switch to something that is safe on the electrical harness.

Base it entirely on how it looks. Usually it takes a week or two of riding to get past the point where I need to clean the bugs and spots off it. Then it ends up being S100, rinsed off, then hit with the air blaster and polished and waxed where need be.
