You lazy git!
Muc Off is the lazy mans way mate. Big bottle that you spray on all over..leave for a min, then rinse off. Shamy dry would be good but on your colour i doubt you'd even notice some water marks.
For chain lube and stuff like that around your back wheel and swingarm use the parrafin / rag solution before you spray allover with the Muc Off.
The nice thing is that Muc Off also do a set that comes with cleaning brushes for your bike etc
