Small blower for most of the water and hard to get places, a spray of wax as you dry product by Eagle One, wipe of with a synthetic chamois, every time!

Microfiber. I usually spray Quick Detail and wipe the bike after every ride, so very little dirt to remove .

Cannon bath towels is all I use. When I wash them, I toss a dryer sheet in the dryer with them. They come out nice and soft. They absorb tons of water, and leave no scratches. I try to not use the newest ones in the house 'cause that would kinda pi$$ of the wife.

I use those yellow Flannel rags with the S100 Detail + Wax for a quick spray clean and wax.
