man i don't know what is going on here?
i just use the same meguiars gold car wash that is in the bucket, and the same microfiber glove that is on my hand.
i get down on one knee, and i scrub it clean.... it takes like 1-2 minutes per wheel... what the hell are you guys riding in?!

I actually don't ever get my bike wet.  I clean it with WD40, and the body work I use the Meguiars spray clean, and just wipe down the bodywork with a towel. I suppose I clean them often enough that they don't get dirty.

With the whole bike minus the wheels and bodywork, I just spray it down completely with WD40, and use compressed air to blow it off. It comes out shiny and clean as a whistle.  I clean the wheels by hand, WD40 on a rag of course.
