water, water, and more water..
a couple towels at the back edge of the cockpit helped keep most of the water out and a light mist with a nozzle sprayer..

I wait for the high school cheerleaders to have a car wash then I take it there. Actually I use Groits Speed Shine. Spray it on and wipe it off.

Keep it dry...I use turtle wax bug, tar and tree sap, remover to get the bugs off..spray it on rub lightly and wipe off...no water(water turns it to a gooey paste). Then use a spray detailer...Mequiers, Mothers or now my favorite, Turtle Wax Ice...it leaves no "white" on the black or rubber parts.
Only thing I use water on is the under carriage when I can't get it clean with a rag.

Yep to most of the above. Rarely if ever have I taken a hose to my Cobra. I might have waxed it once. Rely on the spray detailer or Griots spray wax. detail the black side pipes with a spray (PIG SNOT) I got from the local Harley shop.

Hmm, I really don't wash my car, I like it dirty.
But when I do the once a year cleaning, it's usually with spray detailer.

I have heard others that use a painters tape and place the tape around the interior to create a water barrier and then cover the top of the car with some kind of plastic if need be. You need to use a good quality tape, but if you don't have a top this would work for a good cleaning.

I use Zaino products on my car. I have only washed it twice in 4 years. Once before applying Zaino to cut off the old waxes, and once after WSCB in 06 when it got rained on all the way home. Stuff works great.

I dust mine off with one of those "duster wands". Then I get a bucket of warm water and a old T-shirt or a small towel as the "wash rag", and an old towel or T-shirt then wash and dry one small section at a time. (door, front fender, left side of hood, right side of hood, front section, etc etc etc).
Every couple of months the Cobra gets a wax after the wash. I currently use Meguiar's NXT.
The whole wash/wax process takes less than an hour.
