Thunderstorm29, congrats on your new ride. It's a beauty!!! I've been using Johnsons baby shampoo always on my baby. It's very mild and effective.old soft cotton tshirts do the job of wiping n drying quite well. Beware that bike detailing is like a white elephant. There is no end to how much u can spend on it!! It's a bottomless pit.. All the meguirs wax, 5 different types of chrome polishes, tyre shine restorer, chamois leather cloth, microfibres cloth,leather polish at el, lying inside my cars boot is proof of that!😂😂😂... All this is fine for a while before you realize that water is you bike's biggest enemy and your priority should be to keep her as dry as possible. Buy a decent feather duster( one that doesn't have any hard spines). Use that to dust your bike gently to get rid of dust and avoid washing as much as possible.only parts that would need washing are the tyres.. If there r bird droppings then wet the stain till it softens and rub it out slowly.. All the best n ride safe.. And please don't buy 12000rupee shampoos even if u can afford it!!!😂😂😂

No, do not wipe the bike when it's dusty. Any smooth surfaces will get micro scratches that will be visible in the sunlight. This will inevitably happen after a while. The idea is to prolong the inevitable as much as possible. Dusting helps get rid of dust without scratching the surface.

Exactly! 12000 rs shampooo
Man a frame off paintjob will be cheaper:P
A good soft duster
A mild shampoo for once a month wash or when your bike is too dirty
A couple of old soft cotton rags
And wet wipes!
Thats all you need.
Try to never pressure wash your ride.
They will get into electricals and reek havoc

Purchase a blower or you can use vaccum cleaner if you find two much of dust on your bike, blower will cost you some 5 to 600 rs, it's very efficient way of blowing dust away from your bike without scratching it, pressurise water will always scratch your bike tank and other painted parts, pressurise water must only be used to clean tough dust like under the front fender on beneath the engine or chassis, for upper body washing use good old bucket and mug, using bucket is good for saving water also,plus all of the pressurise water facility uses ground water which has got of lots of dust and impurities in it naturally, so one should avoid using this type of washing as much as he could, and purchase a good quality oversize cover to cover your bike it's the best way of saving your bike from scratching and other problems. Dont purchase plastic or synthetic covers always go for good quality cloth covers.
