Here's the thing. I like to tear down the bike (removing hs and bb only for rebuild/replace) and clean everything twice a year. With my painted frames I just cleaned and then applied a car polish to help resist dirt adhesioin and then use an aluminum cleaner for the aluminum bits. I've got a titanium frame now and would appreciate your advice about what cleaners and polishes I can use on the frame to continue my process. Can I keep using the car polish w/o harming the frame (chemical reaction?)? I've done some searches and mostly came up with industrial solutions ie; dipping the metal in some chemical acid solution. I think that's a bit overkill for what I'm looking for (not to mention what it would do to a bike frame).
Thanks for any info you guys can pass along.

Titanium won't be harmed by anything you could possibly use to clean it, except maybe coarse sandpaper. It is the most chemically and environmentally resistant material used in any bicycle application so use what ever you have available to clean it.

The most recommended cleaner is Lemon Pledge. It doesn't clean any better than a lot of other household cleaners but it sure smells nice.

You are not going to hurt the Ti frame. I am assuming that you are talking unpainted. If you have stickers or decals, they are what you need to make sure that your cleaners do not harm.

My normal wipedowns are usually with Windex.

I also use windex and a cloth.

The frame finish will have a little bit of input. Not too many polished frames these days but if it is you will want to use a polishing compound, either metal or automotive, your choice, to buff it up. Wax is always a good idea. More typical Ti frames are abrasively finished with nylon abrasive pads or some sort of soft blasting compound.
These just need soap/citrus cleanup and waxing is optional. If the frame is scratched nylon abrasive pads will usually clean it up and match the OEM scuffing fairly well. They come in several levels of 'grit' like sandpaper and a bit of experimentation may be needed. Ti can be anodized but I don't think this is very common now and these just need cleanup. Anodizing is not easily damaged or easily repaired as its color is hard to match.

Also, anodizing is a chemoelectric process, it will be sorta hard to repair...

Most Ti frames are either polished or (like my habby) brushed. These are very easy care, and brushed frames tend to show dirt much less as well. Just use the soft side of a sponge and a little bit of simple green, car wash soap, or detergent...

If you have a polished frame a jeweler's rouge cloth will keep it that way. It's also great for bare polished aluminum parts.

Pledge is the best.

Road salt can stain Ti frames.

Thanks a bunch folks! Really appreciate the advice and input. I'll defintely not get over zealous with this metal. It happens to be a brushed finish so, looks like some simple cleaner to wipe it down will be the way I go.

Thanks again!

Khan, if your frame is polished Ti the best thing to use is Nevr-dull wadding polish. It's great and clean and polishes well and puts anice luster back on the Ti. Another good product if you have surface oxidationa nad darker spots is Mother's mag and aluminum polish. It comes as a cream with a slight abrasvive to it but it is also a great product. When I have tough spots I use the mothers and finsih it with Nevr-dull. Have a 14+ year old GT Xizang Ti that looks just like it came out of the box.

I use Lemon Pledge on my Seven. It was recommended by Seven and works great. I use it once a week and it actually keeps most dirt off with repeated use.

Excellent point to bring up!

Keep any bike waxed with Pledge and the dirt comes off easier and does not affect the bike as much.
