Wash it dry then cloth wd40 and then wipe all excess off, nothing will stay clean for long

The film of dirt is the soap that still on it make sure the motor is cold and the water is very hot when you wash it over if you have a compressor dry off with air gun then as JTB says WD4O on a cloth or just spray on and dab off then polish any alloy casings with solvo autosol if you get any polish on the black just use old tooth brush with wd40

I just douse mine with Scottoiler FS365 - works miracles!
