Default Washing and Detailing

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good how-to guide for washing and detailing? Forum mods, no problem if you want to redirect this thread.

The s100 products are good. Or, anything like that. I use Mr.Moto from Cycle Gear. Spray, rinse, blow dry with leave blower. Detail with polish and chrome cleaner as needed.

No trouble at all. Fatboys look really good all shiny. Not much for the blacked out look....
