Thanks for all the input. I've done the McGuire's (sp?) car wax, which is not so easily, being lazy as I am, I'll go for the Pledge.

Yup, I've learned that the immediate hose off is the best approach, I was hoping there was an even easier way. Some of my rides are associated with the club where I throw my steed in the back of the station wagon and zoom off somewhere in the county. I usually throw all my riding junk in an ol' school backpack, then scoot out the door. Now I think I might have to bring extra water just to do that immediate hose-off. With my outside water being shutoff, due to it being winter here, I used two double liter soda bottles to do the rinsing. I put a little soap in one of the bottles to help things along. I used my hands to basically whip off the grime.
Rims and spokes don't get addressed unless the bike is clamped in its stand.
