Two weeks unless I get caught in the rain or the white walls look yellow then sooner.

I don't wash my bike, I use "Drywash N' Guard" Ultra Ion. If I get caught in the rain, then I have to wash it, other than that, its Dry Wash. It leaves a microscopic layer of protection on the surface. I use it on chrome, paint, etc. It keeps the bugs from sticking on hard. It is kind of pricey though. Antique car guys, Streetrodders, RV'rs, use it. I use it on my RV's fiberglass, man does it shine.

Soap and water wash only when I get gaught in the rain and then it's immediately when I get home. I have a reputation for keeping it clean and shiney all the time but I try to break it up so I'm not spending riding time cleaning - I'll do the painted surfaces, chrome/aluminum, wheels at different times so the whole bike always looks good.

Always clean off lovebugs we have here in the south they are very acidic and will etch your paint.Try not to use hose, Mequires quick detail and California duster after every ride. Only hose after getting caught in a storm
