Problem is the ladies sometimes drop their rags on the ground, pick it up with embedded gravel, dirt and then resume wiping paint. I've seen this many times. Just keep an eye on the ladies...this shouldn't be a problem.

Use your Car Wash Shampoo with Paint Conditioners. About $8Gallon.
Use a Car Wash Mit
Some Wheel Cleaner specific for your Wheels
Hose that baby down
Wash it liberally with lots of soap
Spray your Tires, Brakes, Rims
Wash it off with the Car Soap
Blow Dry it off with a Shop Vac or Leaf Blower
Dry off with an old Bath Towel that you did not use Downy on.
You can easily wash and dry a bike in less than 30 minutes.

All these washes are good for is a chubby in your pants.

+1 for riding in the rain and toweling it off when you get home. not kidding, not being glib: i dont wash my bike much, twice a year at most... hm upon reflection, maybe once a year, not including wiping down after riding in the rain.
the chain gets weekly cleaning and lube. the tire are checked weekly too. brake pads, well, whenever i change tires, or every couple of months when i do plugs, oil, or other maintenance.
washing? not so much.
