What do you use to clean your bike?

I use dri-wash... It is the SHIZNIT.. Car or bike. It is like a wax, yet needs no water, cleans and seals all at once. Spray on microfiber cloth, clean... use another to polish it away... repels water better than rainx.. I even use it on my helmet. I did not believe it worked like it said it did til I washed my friend's bike with it... Amazing. Bugs just wash off with a gentle rain now too.
Dri-wash for the win... Just don't get it on your seat... It is slick lol...

A friend of mine always used pledge on his tricked out $25,000 RC 51. He was always known for having the shiniest bike of the bunch. He even used it on his helmet. When we would pull off for a break from a ride id look over and hes got his pledge out, wiping his bike! lol
