I wash maybe once a week with Bike Brite maybe a half hour or so wash and dry. When I wax I wax on crappy days so I don't waste riding time

Just about everytime it rains. And if it rains the day after, I'll uncover her her just to look at her. Sad, maybe? by I love Big Bertha.

you can find the mini one at Wal amrt for 6.44. I have two of them. One in the saddlebag, and one on the garage shelf. They work wonders inbetween rides. Usualy i will clean off with the duster and then get out my Meguiars quick detailer and remove bug guts.

Wash it after a ride where road dirt or weather could adversely affect the finish -- like here along the Gulf Coast, if we go to Galveston, I'm washing the bike on return to get the salt spray off the bike. I keep the bike waxed and in my garage at all times, spending 2-3 times a year in detailed waxing and cleaning -- i.e. the bags, seat and other quickly removable parts come off to get in all the "nooks and crannies."

But I like to ride as much as I like having a stunning, eye-catching bike. So in-between rides and cleanings, I wipe down the bike with Pledge and Honda spray cleaner for the chrome. Awesome results. And the bugs and dust come right off...

I always wax aftre washing I always wash when it's dirty[8D]
Spray wax makes it so easy so it wouldn't almost take any extra time to wax it
