Naked bikes are a git to keep clean but is made easier with long reach detailing brushes and ACF50.

It gives the bike that new look by coating things with a lacquer like finish, but also giving it protection too.

XCP clear coat is also worth considering and it's a bit cheaper too, but with either of them I'd use a compressor to apply them.
I bought one just to do that but it has come in handy for other things as well.
