Depends on the level of dirt, if caught out in the rain and the bike is covered in road crud then I have been known to hose it down with clean water before leather and polish.

If it's only dust and flys then a damp leather on the flys and a clean soft cloth with Mer polish for everything else.

Have stripped all the body work off and jet washed the frame, wheels and engine arround once a year to get rid of the dirt that build up on the bits that you can't normally see.
