Honda Polish is the best all purpose cleaner. Spray on and wipe off.

Yes, rain spots are very annoying, but I ride in all weather so I have to use water to wash away the dirt and grime from the road.

The "Mr.clean" hose attachment with the water filter on it works great. you can let the bike air dry and you wont have a single water spot on it.

Be advised, I used the Mr. Clean system and was very disapointed with the results. After using Mr. Clean it left water spots that were very hard to get out. It took a few normal washes and waxing with Honda Polish to over a couple of weeks to get them out.

The only time I used it I originally started washing the bike in the shade and after rinsing it off I went went to work on something else as it dried. After about an hour the sun shifted into position shining directly on it so that might have something to do with it.

I have used it dozens of times with no problems.
I will also go the chamois route because I find hand polishing my bike therapeutic, and, somehow very errotic
