Rode in the rain for the first time (it happens in Florida sometimes)
And now I feel soooo dirty  Any suggestions on what to use to clean the bike (specific products and such)?

This topic came up recently on the ST forums and a fair amount of those who posted said "Honda Spray Polish" is what they really like. Their enthusiastic approval was enough to make me want to try it, so I bought some recently...haven't tried it yet though.

i use the honda spray polish on my suzuki. the stuff is great. every peice of dirt and bug and greese comes off and it leaves a wonderful shine to it.
although i am scared to use it on my 749dark, someone on here said lemon pledge i think, i might try both in hard to see places before doing the tank or something

I am a big fan of S100 for the motor, frame, swingarm, wheels etc but just soap and water for everything else.

Let me know how that works out. I have a 749 Dark too and have been wondering if there was a better way to clean instead of mild soap and water.

What tools (sponge or brush) do you use to get the wheels clean inbetween the rotors and such. My short stumps are having trouble getting in there and im afraid to use anything too harsh on the powdercoat.
I have the 5 spoke Marchesini's with the cavity on the back side of the spoke. White wheels look hot until they get dirty.
