I use RainX aerosol glass cleaner on the windshield, lights, and all painted surfaces. It's the best for getting off bugs and gunk!

I used to use the S100 products and I've used various Harley products. The best and easiest thing Ive found though is just filling my bucket with hot water and dipping a microfiber towel in it to wash the bike and another microfiber to dry. It works great, the hot water removes bug and crap easily.

I used to use the Mr Clean car wash kit, but the jerks discontinued it so I occasionally pop into a car wash and spray it down from enough distance that it doesn't hurt the old girl.

Ive always used Honda polish for washing.

Warm water and 2 microfiber towels like someone mentioned above. For touch ups, Turtle Wax has a spray on cleaner/wax that works really well.
Hand wax twice a year or so...

Tim, I did the leaf blower a couple of times and neighbors thought I was crazy! It got her nice and dry though, no spots.

I use the leaf blower every time.
Neighbors already know I'm crazy.
