I give my bikes a quick wipe with an unscented baby wipe after each ride. It takes about a minute, takes any dust, bugs, sweat or drink splashes off and there seems to be some lanolin or something in them that acts like a light wax.
This ... and sometimes I'll give them a polish with ordinary everyday furniture polish.
