I like using Harley's denim paint cleaner in between washes. Takes me 60 seconds with the bottle and a micro-fiber cloth to hit the tank, 2 fenders, and chrome pipes. (And another other black frame area that may need attention.

I've found the best method to making life easier on yourself.....don't neglect cleaning up your bike/car. Small clean-ups after rides n' what not make life much easier when it comes time to do a full bike detail.

 

Dawn Dish soap in warm water. Rinse. Windex to remove water spots and clean the mirrors and forks.

 

2 days? haven't washed mine since it came home on 7/11/08 and don't plan on it. honda spray detailer is all you ever need.

 

Perfect !
