Lemon Pledge for all parts except seat and grips. Windex for the chrome parts and mirrors. My bike has never had water on her except for rain and looks like the day I picked her up and smells lemony fresh too

My wife calls me a freak, I even clean the front and windshield when stopping for gas, water does not touch the bike, don't like what it does when it sneaks into the electrical connections. I spray it and wipe it down then use black detailer spray. Is always clean and shines, your bike is a reflection of you...

I use Windex to clean everything on my bike. Shines it right up.

Are you spraying Pledge on a dirty bike? Isn't that like sandpaper?

Zaino.

Use it on my car and truck. Makes the paint shine like glass.

+1 on the leaf blower. Works real good at getting the water out of the nooks and crannys.

adamspolishes.com waterless wash! I used to use detailer spray but it really does not have enough lubricants in it to use as a washing agent. Adam's waterless wash does and it works great. Like others, I still do a good old fashioned -car wash soap- bath once a month or so.
