I like cleaning
Nearly as much as riding
I wash my bikes after every ride - every time
Never put my bike away dirty - it's a sin
Cleaning your pride and joy

We buy things we don't need
With money we don't have
To impress people we don't even like

Re: Cleaning your pride and joy
Thanks for all the replies, guys.
I ended up buying the SDoc100. Rode down to the local jet wash emporium and liberally sprayed the foamy stuff all over the bike... using virtually the whole bottle... oops! Left it for a bit while I had a smoke and a can of pop, then gave it a really good spray down with the jet wash. Not a bad job considering the lack of effort involved, however, I did have to go over a few bits again with some Motorex Protect and Shine once I got home.
On the plus side: it does do a pretty good job of getting rid of every day dirt.
Negatives: I did have to redo some of the stubborn bits, especially where chain oil had coated the centre stand and chain guard. Also, as I used nearly the whole bottle, it would have probably been cheaper to take it back to the Eastern Europeans to do like I normally do.
