i get my bike washed 2-3 times a month.. Never washed it my self.. take it to a near by service center.. those guys take around 50rs..in which they was my bike with that spray pressure, remove excess water, then lubricate all the imp. parts(chain etc) and polish it... so its as clean as new..
Look out at the darkness, and you will see
Just call my name and I'll be there
You cannot touch me, you would not dare
I am the chill that's in the air

Washing a bike is a pleasure for me. It's a practise I started at an early age (read school kid) with my dad's Rajdoot. And now, it's my Bull I care about.
I usually wash it once in two weeks very thoroughlly.
It's a flowchart of activities that span my entire Sunday mornings, starting with diesel washing (better to say rubbing) the crank-case bottom & hard grimed parts followed by washing with mild shampoo (I usually use Dove/Garnier etc)-warm water after covering all possible points of water entry like CB Points, Carb, Ignition Key hole, Spark plug, Exhaust end etc. with plastic/tape as the case may be.
Then I would idle my steed for 5 mins & then rub/soak off all the water with a chamois leather.
In the end, I would lube the 2 open cables & the rear chain & conclude with a short but breezy ride around my locality intermittently braking to heat up the brake shoe & let water in it pass.Comment

I am lazy about it
I own a Suzuki Samurai (1996), As it is old I am careless about its looks and washing it. I only thinks about the machine and nurses it carefully whenever required. As it is a Suzuki product I can use it carelessly without any trouble.Comment

I wash my bike every 3 days gap.
it's a basic rule and must be followed.

With monsoons arriving, the bike in most cases is usually splattered in mud,
courtesy--construction and on coming truckie which loves to make a big splash,
would washing off* have a negative impact?
*as frequent as once a weekComment

I wash once in a week, during the weekend usually no matter how clean the bike is!

I get it cleaned everyday. The guy who comes to clean the cars, also cleans the bike. Pressure washing happens only during servicing. Now would be getting a polish and polish it this weekend.Comment

I am scared of letting anybody wash my bike.
Especially when they are using those high pressure water pumps.
I think it invites more trouble with it, like
* Water getting into petrol tank, carburettor
* Water getting in spark plug
* Speedo console malfunctions
* washing lubricants away from chain & other parts
* Faulty electricals & bulbs (have lost one flasher & side indicator)
So, to avoid this, I wash bike myself.
I spend 1 & half hours once n a week or 2 & wash my girl in 3 sets.
It may sound funny / idiotic, but I use clinic plus shampoo for its mildness & fragrance. (Any good shampoos)
It goes like this ..
1. Wash bike with plain water, get rid of all mud from where ever it is possible
2. Mix 3 sachets of shampoo in 3+ liters of water, create a foam & apply on all plastic parts & where ever you find oil & grease marks.
3. Get rid of foam with final bath using plain water.Comment

Anyway, don't forget to Save Water at the end :-)
And even I don't just like Pressure Washing but I still do it once in two-three blue moons .." A man is also known by the bike he rides :D "Comment

Well I use "Formula 1 Carnauba" 260INR for 500ml. Got it from E-bay.
Very good product. Please do not use Regular hair wash shampoo's. The chemicals in Hair Shampoos are not good for your vehicle.Comment
