How often do you clean/wash/detail your bike?

I ONLY wash it when I put something new on. I'm just lazy tho.

The previous owner of the Buell gave me a can of Honda Polish when I bought her. I like the stuff...makes for a quick and easy cleaning.

Good point.

Honda Polish is great, but I don't want to scratch the finish polishing w/dirt and sand that's on the bike. So, safely behind the closed garage door, I'll use a bucket of hot water and a little very diluted simple green or non-ammonia window cleaner to get the dirt to release, then I use the Plexus and a clean soft rag to polish.

You'd think with all of the rain (and now snow) we've received this year that they'd lift some of the restrictions, but not so.
