It sounds as if you guys are ready for Daytona! I hate cleaning too. My Harley is always covered in bugs, dirt etc.. Some of the people I know comment on "Does he ever clean that", to which I reply, "Why bother cleaning it all the time, when I could be out riding it."
Anyway, to appease my fellow riders, I found a product called Bike Bright, which comes in a spray bottle. You litterally spray it onto a dry dirty car or bike, let it sit for 5 minutes or so, and then spray it off with a hose. The stuff is great,(I spray it on everything from the seat to the chrome and engine, it degreases too) I can clean the Harley in just a few minutes, with one dry rag, as the stuff leaves a streakless finish for the most part. This may be the ticket for you Black T troubles. Steve.
