Don't bother with it.

Simple Green.

Griot's Garage Best of Show wax, after washing with Griot's Car Wash 
and cleaning with Griot's Paint Cleaning Clay.

In between washings I'll use Griot's Speed Shine to give the bike a 
quick clean/shine.

I'll use undiluted Car Wash to get the bugs off the front, or sometimes 
Turtle Wax's Bug and Tar Remover.  The latter, however, strips the wax 
off as well as the bugs, so I usually try with Car Wash first (which 
doesn't strip the wax).

I use Griot's Wheel Cleaner to scrub the rims, and CRC Brakleen to 
clean the front caliper pistons.  Sometimes I sponge on a very light 
layer of Griot's Rubber Dressing on the seat if it's looking faded and 
my butt doesn't slide around easily enough.
