"Cycle Bright" softens all the bugs so they are easily rinsed off. I want to ride my bike, not worship and pamper it. Maintenance yes; great efforts at cleaning....NO! To each his own, but no special brushes, cloths, towels, and various compounds for me!Clean bugs off headlight lens & ride. Repeat.
Clean bird poop off seat if neccessary.
Anything above and beyond is for a rainy day.
S-100 products are excellent. They make a concentrated spray-on cleaner for wheels and a separate spray-on cleaner for the rest of the bike. I use a soft nylon bristle brush on the wheels and simply hose it off with water.
Go to a HD forum for tips on cleaning. Essentially, clean & polish 23 hours for every
hour riding. Only ride on nice days. Better yet, put the bike in the back of a truck
and drive it where-ever. Save's alot of polishing time.
Dry with leaf blower. Go riding.
Uh, why not dry-by-ride?
I use Simple Green, ridiculously diluted. I hose down the motorcycle, then spray Simple Green over the particularly grungy areas to let it soak. Then, in ~4 gallons of HOT water, I put about a cup of concentrated Simple Green. I use a sponge, rag, brush or whatever to scrub the motorcycle stem-to-stern, and then rinse thoroughly. I hit the instrument cluster and mirrors and a few other nooks and crannies with compressed air to blow out the water. Then I towel-dry whatever's still wet. I gave up on waxing motorcycles years and years ago.
