I clean the wash cloth out in the water, until the water becomes a little dirty and then I change the water .. If, you have swirl marks, I use 3m "fill and swirl to polish them out of the clear coat by hand. Let it haze and wipe if off.. Then I'll go over the bike with Collinite insulator wax. Wipe it on, let it haze, wipe it off, wipes right off black rubber without any residue left.. Leaves a beautiful shine, that lasts and lasts. Hope this helps.. Ride safe..

I heard not to ever wipe it down dry but I don't want to wash it after every time I ride it.

thoughts and advice.
