RE: Who never uses water to clean their bike?
I give a light spray rinsewith water then spray oily areas down with simple green (50/50 dilute) then use warm water with some car wash soap and a micro fiber mitt and soap it all up then rinse with low pressure. Dry with a nice blower and touch up with micro fiber cloths.

hmmm...no water? While the bike is cool I spray thatSP100 or SF100something thats (suppose to be a degunker) on the greasy dirty spots and motor. Rinse with a regular hose with no pressure connection on it. Then I wet the whole bike down and have a pre filled bucket of luke warm water with a couple squirts of dishsoap and use that with a sponge and towel. After the rinse and it dries I apply the wax where necessary and the ****** Mag where needed.

Here in the heavily laden saltwater enviroment (Florida Keys)you have to wash/rinse your bike after rides and wash weekly or rust sets up in a matter of weeks. Every six months the bike get a heavy doseing ofcorrosion-x, sits for a day ortwo to "soak-in" then wash with Mr. Clean weelky followed by a blow-dry.

WTF - is this for real? The bikes are made to ride, yes even in the rain. Why would anyone use anything but soap and water to clean the things with?

I wash it the same as I do everything else. Soap and water. I'm not too worried. If the paint starts to look like **** it's time for custom paint or a new bike
I figure if the paint is perfect my wife may not give me permission to buy the next one.
"Honey I need a new bike, the paint on this one has a swirl mark in it."
