I just use a no-rinse wash called Optimum No-Rinse. Just a gallon of water and a capful of ONR to wash whole bike. I also, use it to make my own quick detailer by adding it to water in a spray bottle.

I may try the lemon pledge next time, but i have been using original Armour All and it does a nice job.

303 Aerospace. Great stuff like Doc said. Use on bike and cars. Lasts a long time.

I just did the research on this Optimum No-Rinse.  They make it in both a wash & shine and a wash & wax.  I think I'm going to try this stuff.  Where I live in the Ozarks, my water is 160' down in my well and filtered through natural limestone, so it's very mineral laden and hard.  Consequently it leaves rings and water marks no matter how fast you dry the paint.  I've thought about re-piping my front spigot on the house to come from the softened water supply in the house, but haven't gotten to that point yet.  Plus, I'd like a quality rinse and dry for both our black sports car and my bike as the 3/4 mile gravel road puts out some horrendous dust that seems to stick to everything.
Plus, I can pre-mix this with some filtered water and keep it in a windex bottle for those times I need a little touch-up on painted or chrome surfaces.
This stuff looks like it might do the trick for me, but I won't ever give up my Aerospace 303 in the meantime!

I've used it for years on all my vehicles.  Also use their sealant called Optimum Gloss Coat.  Seems expensive for what you get but one syringe, 10 ml, did a sedan and the Ultra over a year ago and both look and shed water today just like the day I put it on.  I'll be buying more soon to do the truck as the old sealer I was using doesn't compare to the Gloss Coat.

Did you ever get the ONR and try it out? I hope so, you will not regret it.

Protect-all or Pledge-works wonders!

you may find it hard to believe but peanut butter does a good job !  rub it on then rub it off.  The oil in it leaves a good finish.  It's also good at getting residual polish off the black plastic.
cheap as well ......peanut butter !

I bet the squirrel tracks are a son-of-a-gun to clean off of the paint, and the tooth marks along the seams get a little unsightly.

Check out Surf City Garage products. Love the stuff and i have tried most of them. Especially like the chrome polish and wax.
