California Duster and the almighty wind for most days. I do wash it now and then and give it some good detailing. Right now its sitting under its cover and waiting for this winter season to end.

Daily...never. But I do clean it after a ride to get the bugs off of it. And then only with Windex and a soft rag.

No way I am going to clean a motorcycle daily. I ride it, that keeps most of the dust off and when I ride in the rain it softens the stuck on bugs so they can be wiped of.

I've used that a few times. Works well, smells nice, bees love it! Another pledge product that works on all bike surfaces is their multi-surface cleaner.

Daily cleaning ??? WTF ? Someone needs to get out and ride more , cleaning a bike daily is something I have never ever heard of, maybe someone has OCD ?
