Default A little help with safe self made cleaning supplies

Soooo, I'm used to having a smaller bike which (short story) was easy to keep clean, then I decided to buy a 2012 SG and realized I'm paying so much for the damn thing I need to really baby it. Only problem now is time and money in cleaning it.

The question is this, what can I buy to mix up to make my own spray and wash solution that wont hurt the paint/seals yada yada. I've been told so many different things on degreasers I'm not sure what I can make up to use myself.

Thanks for any help.

Use all the same stuff you used on your Sporty.
Far as I know there's no magic 'spray and wash' elixir you can make yourself. Between washes I use a dash duster followed with detail spray.
