I use Harley Sunwash or S100 to wash my bike and I dry my bike with an inexpensive bike dryer I purchased at Eastern Performance. The dryer cuts down on drying time and eliminates a lot of spotting. I also just recently discovered Meguiars Swirl-X products and I think they are great especially if you own a black bike. Also almost forgot to mention that I use Master Formula Metal Gloss polish on my wheels and chrome and it works fantastic!

Turtle wax ice soap, Meguiars tech wax 2.0 paste, Lucas slick mist(in between waxes), micro fiber towels, shop vac leaf blower to dry. It takes me about a 1hr to wash & dry the bike, and 2-3hrs if I wax at the same time.

I have been using Meguiars products for a few yrs. and have pretty good results. Deep Crystal car wash, Gold Class Carnuba plus wax and Natural Shine Vinyl Protectant ( isn't slippery and I use on my seat with no problem). Mothers mag & aluminum polish is killer too.

I am simple and basic
Use some old car wash soap I have had for years and will use the leaf blower to help dry it off.
Then use some kind of spray on wax for paint and chrome tend to buy something different every time.
Will use a little WD-40 to remove spots on engine as needed and Never Dull to remove marks from chrome.
Got a large bag of micro fiber towels from sams club when I bought the bike.

I have the harley sun glo stuff too. i have a black bike and have had it since it came out in 08 (so i guess that would be late 07?) and i have never waxed it...
i should probably get on that!
the meguires swirl product sounds like a good idea. black bikes are hard to keep clean
Red Devil looks like you have a bad *** wash routine! nice details
