After my first try today with the meguires ultimate range i can honestly say i have never used such quality products
+1 with the Meguires range, the finish is amazing. but what do you used to get the muck off in the first place? For wheels and similar areas I like to use vulcanet wipes, grease and muck just falls off. Just to add I always wet wash the bike before using the wipes!
SDOC100 another vote top stuff Castrol greentec nearly as good as SDOC and a bit cheaper or my latest find that I use on all my bikes, mountain bike MX and road etc Non Caustic Metal Cleaner | Rhino Goo
Personally i dont use anything apart from a clean rag and just take my time doing little bits at a time. Dip the rag in water to help remove flies ect and thats it. im sure specific products would work better but im happy with my method and it works
Mr.sheen, does a great job of removing flies and using spring fresh gives the garage a lovely smell too!
Pre-rinse MUC Off bike cleaner Rinse Wash with Meguairs gold class shampoo Rinse Drying towel Baby wipes on wheels Meguairs quick detailer with a soft polish cloth Run upto temperature on paddock stands to dry chain Place on side stand so any excess trapped water can fall out of lower fairing
Something like:- Rinse HOT Snow foam Rinse HOT Ph wash (Carnauba wax PH neutral wash) Rinse HOT Air line Pre wax cleaner (non abrasive) Zymol or Supernatral or maybe Raceglaze 55 (best smelling wax ever) Two coats. Synthetic Sealant Use micro fibre cloths grit guard buckets etc etc I love cleaning.. Even my customers bikes get the full monty from time to time if I have time to do them.
Muc Off degreaser spray on rear wheel, swing arm etc, Muc Off or snow foam, Megs hyperwash, for a wax Collinite 845 or Zaino Z3 evry 3 months Top up after washing Z6 or Z8
Another snow foam convert here. Just wish I had access to an airline for a complete contact-less wash....
Damp kitchen towel left on the fairings to soften the bugs that have gone hard then good old mr sheen, even use sheen for cleaning chain lube that's been flung off. Soft bottle brush to get the bugs off the radiator.

power hose, Muc-off spray and Muc-off degreaser on the chain Power hose, Leather cloth dry Maguires nxt wax One last go over with good finishing Cloth to really bring the shine out. Wd40 all black plastics then wax The chain.
I have laods of cleaning gear from what has been suggested. Been trying out the Sdoc100 gear and it's really good. Microfiber clothes, and or wool mitts for washings. snow foam works well to remove crap from a bike but i don't do it much as the bike never gets really dirty Finish Kare detaling spray is very good at removing light crap or just to clean the bike after a wash. Loving DODO juice stuff from their wax, sealants etc... A top tip for one of the best sealants out there which is very reasonably and last for years is FinishKare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant Finish Kare 1000P Hi-Temp Sealant - Clean Your Car best sealant I have used and I've tried allot I get much of my stuff from Car Care Products | Detailing Products | UK - Clean Your Car always good service
