Don't bother cleaning bikes. It allows you to see all the corrosion and damage under the dirt! at least when it is dirty, there is the possibility that underneath, it is a fine example of a well cared for machine.

I washed and waxed mine on Saturday, then had the joy of riding through torrential rain on the way home from yesterday's FOT. It now looks worse than it did before I washed it. "Whatever".

Ah, I see we have a difference between those who can afford a new(ish) bike and those who tend to buy from the sub £1000 section of ebay

I should note it was the first time I'd waxed a bike in almost two years. The RGV just got a wash and a few squirts of anti-corrosion gunk.

I am waiting for mine to fall to bits first, then each individual part will be much easier to clean...
