Polishing

[alisch80 at mchsi.com]

A hand towel soaked in warm water and draped over the screen and nose for about
15 minutes does wonders for getting bug matter off.  Plexus after that.   

Simple Green//cold bike//soft bristle brush for the wheels//let soak a few
minutes//hose off. 

Meguire's 3 step for the best polish//wax job.  

Spray on//wipe off quick clean type of cleaner for in between quick clean ups.

Works for me.
