Just an update to an old thread. I had been using Lemon Pledge based on a tip from my local shop. Recently I went to the old tried and true auto wax. No question which is better, the wax. I may use Pledge sparingly as an in-between waxing treatment because it is quick. Pledge attracts more dirt (though it is easy to get off after Pledging). Wax works best when you want a great finish and paint protection (easiest to clean up after a dirty ride). With wax, not much sticks to it in the first place so it stays better loooking longer.
Long story short.....use auto wax baby!
As for after riding in the rain and gunk: I do this a lot. Yes, hose it down gently right when you get home. Then let it air dry. Then, later when you want to clean it it's a breeze. If you let the gunk dry on the frame you'll have a chore ahead of you.
