Mostly I just use mequiars ultimate spray wax and keep a good coat on, then wipe down and re-apply after every ride. I might use soap and water once a month.

i try to never really let my bike get to dirty. if i dont feel like wiping it down with plexus id just take it to the car wash spray it off. make it easy to get the chain wax off the wheel and sprokets. then take it for a ride to dry it off. make sure to bring a towel to dry the seat. then lube the chain when i get home. when we clean bikes at the dealership we pressure wash em lightly and then use what basically a leaf blower that has a filter on it to dry it off.
