I'm not obsessive about cleaning and every 3-4 days is unrealistic due to time constraints. However, I do like to look after my things (especially when they are so beautiful). The ACF-50 just came through the mail, I'll apply a coat on all things metal, then plan to wash down lightly every 2-3 weeks or so (plus after really dirty/muddy rides). Hopefully this should keep her nice and shiny for a long time yet.
I recommend heating the can in a pot of very hot, not boiling water, for a few minutes and remember to go with a couple of light coats to avoid drips.
ACF-50 is the best for hard to reach places, around electrical areas, under fenders and in tiny cracks, but for protection and shine, I like to use a coat of Meguiar's paste wax on painted and chrome areas.
