How do YOU detail your bike?

[the chi]

I was reading GM's Bug Slide thread and it made me wonder, how does everyone clean their bikes? I know some of us are over the top OCD about clean bikes, then there are folks like me, who feel like dirt builds character, i.e. I wash my bike maaaaaybe once a year. I keep it maintained, take care of the chain, etc, I just dont feel like washing it, just to get it dirty again.

So, tell me how you do it! Soap and water? A specific detailed project using different types of products and why, etc. I may actually get out and wash mine...
