I use Meguiar's quik detailer and Captain Richards Bombs Away for the chrome and aluminum. Excellent combo. The meguiars shines the paint and removes the bugs.....bombs away really puts a deep shine in the metal and protects it too.

If you are looking for a waterless wash such as the FW1 you posted about. I would suggest wet paint, I have used this product a lot on cars and bikes and it works rather well. I have never used FW1 though, so I can't really say anything about it, but I didn't read anything there that would make me want to change over to it, or even try it, over what I use. It is a great cleaner/protector.

Mequiars is a great product also, and very hard to beat, for a specialty product.

Is that mothers gold a wash and wipe....or like a wax, dry and buff?
If mothers has a wash and wipe....I'd like to try it.

Default baby wipes, pledge, and microfiber towels

This is what I use 90% of the time. I only wash when I have to and wax about twice per year. The baby wipes clean the bugs and light dirt and the pledge and microfiber towels take care of the cleaning and shining. Can't be beat for that shiny look all the time...
