I just wash it down, blow dry with a gas leaf blower and use ice detail on it.
That makes the cleaning easier.

For those using dish washing detergent. It strips off all of the wax you have put on.

I put wet a towel over the wind screan to soften up the bugs then i get a bucket of warm water and add some BlueCoral Complete was soap and wax in one . cheap stuff from wally world . i scrub the bike down with microfiber cloths . rince it down with a hose and dry off with more microfiber cloths looks fine.

They have an 'APP' for that?!
But me? I just find something wrong that is covered under warranty....take the bike to the dealer for two days. They wash it for me.
