    The best would be warm to hot demineralized water. Its what we use to wash aircraft. I heard that aliens use it also to wash there spaceships so you know its a good choice. Those things fly in outer space for Christ's sake!

    Be careful when washing or drying your stanchions with a rag that you don't, y'know, get into a rhythm. :-k :bang:

    Pshhhh, your not bad :p I MUST use only demineralized, de-ionized, heated to exactly 104.1 degrees, made from antarctic ice. I only use the finest organic soap, homemade by the nomadic tribes of the Sahara with only the finest camel fat and sodium hydroxide heated over a fire made from only the finest oak wood shipped to them from my backyard.
    After she is carefully given a bath, i carefully apply a carnuba wax handmade in the forrests of Argentina by bikini-clad women.

    Then i hand buff her using a cotton cloth hand woven by my awesome mexican neighbor (that also brings over freaking AWESOMMEMEEEE tamales!!! :D ) from the finest cotton grown in northern california.

    In return she lets me ride her as hard as i like. She likes to go hard!!!
