Speaking of Kerosene, I use a good quality car wash like Armor All in a five gallon bucket about half to two thirds full. Then I add a cup of Kerosene. I learned this trick from an older lady who did windows. She liked the way it helped sheet the water off with no hand drying. I haven't use it on my cycle, but I use it for all my vehicles. It works wonders for a car that sits under a tree or for getting suicidal bugs off the front. I've done this for about 30 years with no discernible degradation of rubber, paint, or wipers. It does smell for a couple of hours, but soon goes away. Plus it really shines.
