I wash my bike every now and then, but wipe it down with a soft cotton towel every few days.
Until fairly recently, I ride every day year round. It's my principle means of conveyance. When you ride every day, it's a little harder to keep up with cleaning.
I've been recouping from hip surgery and am now able to get around so I may do the all day detail you speak of. Takes a lot longer than washing a big truck or car.

I wipe the wheels off every time I change a tire. And around the drain plug and filter when I change the oil.

Is that you Billy Mays? What are you talking about? I wipe off the wheel whenever I put a new tire on. That's it. Whenever I change the oil, I wipe around the drain plug and filter, to keep the dirt away from the holes. Seems pretty clear to me. I don't clean my bike. I'm working on a ratbike project.

im talking about exactly what your talking about. I like it. Why bother breaking your back cleaning your bike, just do it when you need to service it.

Wash after the bugs get thick, probably every 400 miles. Takes maybe 30 mins. I only "detailed" it right after I got it. That included a toothbrush and some WD-40. Never again.
