i just use muc off to clean the bikes themselves, will use GT85 to remove grease/tar, sometimes jet wash to get into the nadgery bits
GT85 or petrol on wheels.. brake disc and chain cleaner are useful to have too
and that's it, all my bikes are black, mainly matt black, so don't use any kind of polish.
i do have some of the autoglym bumper gel i use on some of the plastic bits


treat metal bits with ACF50 in winter and leave on til spring when salt is all gone from roads

komp - For my matt black aprilia I used Wd40 on a baby wipe then Wurth Helmet Cleaner after a wash.
