Spray wax?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I use Jax Wax Hawaiian Shine. This is a versatile detail spray wax that can be used on paint, chrome, glass and plastic. Just spray on microfiber towel and apply. Probably do this once a week.

I am the same with my cars...it drives my wife nuts!

I use pledge, but I don't spray it on to the bike. I spray it on a clean cloth and wipe it on.

I use Rain-X on all my bike parts, as well as my shorts, helmet, shades, and jersey. Everything just rolls right off.

I asked my butler what he uses on my custom, ceramic-glazed, titatium bike. He said Pledge, at the suggestion of the frame builder.
