Wouldn't have to detail them if I didn't ride them. I spend very little time detailing them and a whole lot of time riding. Wipe...Wipe...every once in a while and they are clean.
You probably won't understand this but people detail their bikes like their cars...most have no idea what coatings are on the different surfaces and what chemicals and mechanical cleaning media...like the guy above who uses a toilet cleaning brush...lol... degrade the different surfaces...like using paper towel which is quite abrasive for example. All depends what you want...some consider a road bike an appliance...use it up, wash it with the hose...and throw it away. This may go over your head but...a show car detailing friend I have said most used cars when sold should have a detailing carfax to define what the buyer will inherit...bikes are no different. People ruin cars and bikes more than they wear out.
