+1 on Motul's. Spray on, wash off.

I thought I was the only one that did this. Works great for me too.. I never wash, never wax, just use the honda cleaner exclusively. My bike has never gotten wet either so I'm not sure how this stuff would handle a real dirty bike.

Just put the bike in the back of your pickup and go through the car wash. Kinda like buy one get one free.

I just wash with soap for auto's once or twice a year then blow dry with the electric leaf blower.......between washes I use the eagle or Mcguires auto detailer. Same as Honda cleaner I get 6 or 7 cleans per bottle. I carry it in the saddlebag for quick touch ups.

Great ideas!!! I use vinegar for the glass - nothing gets those mirrors cleaner than vinegar! AND i use the air compressor to dry my bike after washing it. It really makes that part quick and complete.
