bucket full of warm water and car shampoo is what I use and then scrub it off with a really soft brush from a pressure wash set dry it off and then get the polish out...this happens once every 5 months

Best way; don't.
Hose is OK, but be very careful with it. Don't apply high pressure anywhere, jsut use it to rinse over bodywork.

Hose all over to get nice and wet, spray on dirt bike cleaner (get it from your local motocross shop) work it in a bit with a soft bust, one from a dustpan is perfect, especially if you can get one with a fairly narrow body, don't let the cleaner dry on though, do the bike bit by bit if necessary, then hose off using the brush again to make sure everything comes off. Leave to dry, polish if you want to, but use a lubricant spray like WD40 and a rag over the metal bits like footpegs, brake levers, adjusters etc to keep them nice and fresh.
