A damp microfiber towel, dry then microfiber towel and Pledge, can't beat it! Even smells good!

I also use the Harley Bug Remover spray. Get rid of the bugs first, then I use the  Meguier's. All with the micro-fiber rags!!

Lucas Slick Mist or ProtectAll.  I favor ProtectAll a little of Slick Mist because it leave no streaks if used sparingly.  Slick Mist can be sprayed on a wet surface and wiped off with a microfiber cloth and it leaves a great shine plus a wax layer.

Griots is a MAJOR black hole for $'s! So many nice products and kits and accessories, so little cash!
X2 on the Griots Speed Shine, works great!

I've kept a can of regular lemon Pledge (spray can, not the pump sprayer) in my cleaning product box for years.  If you notice, most motorcycle shops will sell Plexis (I won't use it) but actually use Pledge to shine/dust the bikes on the floor.  Pledge has additional cleaners plus wax and will leave a great shine w/no scratches.  It's a great between washes/waxes product and you can get a small can to take with you on trips.  The Pledge works on all surfaces (except the windshield...soap, warm water and microfiber for that).
As far as cloths/rags, you can't have enough good, quality microfiber cloths.  If you go cheap on those, you'll regret it.
I also have a good, OLD 100% cotton bedsheet (flannel) that is my ONLY detail/drying cloth.  The thing is 20 years old, soft as a baby's butt and WILL NOT scratch anything.
I also put all cloths, towels and cleaning rags in the washer after every cleaning.  Helps to keep everything fresh for the next time.

I carry the Lemon Pledge wipes with me. Use them all the time for general cleaning. Love them! Great for getting bugs off of everything but hot pipes. Even use them on the windshield/

Plan B for keeping the bike clean between washings:

don't ride it.

Believe it or not, some folks go with plan B.
