Never before have I had a bike that likes to cover itself in muck so much. It's ridiculous
Far too many awkward to reach crevices too.
The most un-rewarding use of effort has to be the black anodized wheels, they just seem to stay stained. I've tried soapy water and a scotch pad type of thing but they're still not great. Does anyone have any pearls of wisdom regarding these? Right now I'm thinking I'll try and get a pair of cast wheels as I don't really go off road.
As for general cleaning, I think cleaning after every ride just now might be better substituted for a good bath in ACF50 but I can't help but be concerned about the amount of salt that's on the roads just now and I find myself cleaning it anyway. If it were just dirt and the bike was dry I'd find it easier to be more relaxed about it.
