Looks like you found a job now..
ok seriously, i think you love your bike too much..

Its been over 7 months since i bought my R15.. I have never washed it till date, & all the washing she has been through is at the SVC during the regular servicings.. I do clean the bike with a soft-dry cloth whenever it appears to have a lot of dust/ dirt on it.. I have polished it just once till date.. I take care to park it in clean & safe areas, so maintenance (regular cleaning) isn't all that required..
However, i used to give a proper wash to my previous bike (Discover 135) almost every Sunday.. I somehow feel my R15 get less dirty..

The pleasure is when your rear wheel slides, and you bring it back; and when the front wheel lifts, you take your time bringing it back.

Actually I don't waste time to wash my bike. It again gets dirty in a day or two. Instead I spend that time in riding it. Moreover, I love my bike to look dirty, filled with mud and dust all around. It gives a feeling that I ride a lot.

I never wipe my bike, dust creates microscratches on the paint surface that makes the pain dull over time.

I get the bike pressure+diesel washed whnever it gets dirty, no fixed frequency followed.

I've hardly ever polished the bike, just the regular 3M teflon coats at the service center 4 times a year.!

One word - Dont do that!! Ordinary shampoos are not properly pH balanced for automobile paint therefore over time they have dire effects on not only the paint but rubber and plastic as well. A high quality car washing shampoo is designed to gently lift dirt from car paint and leave behind luster enhancers that help protect the paint.

I wipe both my bikes once a week, using a damp cloth to take the mud&grease off. In rainy season I spray water onto the discs&chain covering etc.areas the same day, but still hardly ever wash the whole bike except for when its serviced. Polishing once a month.

Gray-haired riders don't get that way from pure luck.

You don’t stop riding because you’re getting old, but you get old when you stop riding.

Interesting. TRANSFORMERS??
I wash my bike once every two weeks with AMWAY CAR WASH and then polish her using the AMWAYSILICONE GLAZE. My bike doesn't look 5 years old. never.
