I was using the blue can to do mine along with old t-shirts. Can't get that anymore so I use the white bottle with old underwear now.

spit... and a dead hooker's shirt, make sure it doesn't have any sequins, they leave scratches...

A bucket of plain water, a microfiber towel to wash, and microfiber towel to dry....costs nothing and does an excellent job! BTW, I use some stuff in a pink and black can (don't know if it's the same you're using or not) called Original Bike Spirits as a finishing polish and it leaves an amazing shine! Just ask any of the guys who were at the MAM if my bike was ever anything but gleeming...

The dearest option and it will not clean your bike at all

LOL! I love these threads!
Listen very carefully...........go to the grocery store, pick up a bottle of Shout. Spray it all over. Drink a beer. Hose it off. Get out the leaf blower and dry it off.
Friggin amazing!
shorty snout
Great idea !!! did you go Carbon Fibre ? Any horsepower gains ?
Cheapest bike cleaner you can buy and works AWESOME
2011 M109R LE (Not quite stock anymore!)
I'm only GRUMPY when I'm not riding my 9!
Meguiar's Quick Detailer
$9.99 per spray bottle not exactly "cheap" but really GREAT!- Easy on, immediately wipe with micro fiber cloth. Best thing I ever used for speed and shine...DEEP, WET shine! (For a cheaper alternative, Windex works great, too, which is used by a professional detailer I know, although I don't see the DEEPNESS with it that I do with the Meguiar's).

Meguiar's
+1. I've been happy with every product I use of Meguiar's.
Pledge is the ticket for the shine. Found out about that one this year in Evansville IN. A friend I met that the dragon lives there and he cleaned by bike when I pulled in. Then wipped out the pledge and I thought what theI sat back and let him do his thing. As soon as I got home stopped at the store and purchased myself a 3.xx can. Now the mention of Shout has me interested. I will have to check that out.
