Protect All is the best stuff, use a microfiber towel and this product, it equals a gorgeous Bike!

I'm ever yet dubious as to ANY quickwash product that claims it protects your paint from dirt scratches when you wipe it off. Not possible on a large level, and I believe on the more microscopic level, you're slowly satinizing your paint, as I've seen done.
Water is cheap. If you're going over the whole thing anyway, why not add soap, and use the quickwax for what it's good for: getting rid of the water spots, which are junk from your dirty water. (the reason we don't drink tap water)

I have not found any cycle cleaner, including S100, that can be sprayed on and hosed off without leaving dirt behind. I use a sponge and a spoke brush in addition to spray cleaner. After the wash I use a JC Whitney Cycle Dryer. It works great and costs just $49.

Incidentally, if you have a dehydrator in the garage (or anywhere), that water it makes is distilled - just the rinse you need, only free.
Wallyworld also has a great battery powered toothbrush-like thingy that you can buy a pack of brush heads for that get into the spokes and back places really well. I'd only use the softer brushes on the paint though.
