Wow that's a lot of comments on how to wash a Snowmobile with wheels. Designed to get wet of course but not water being shot out of a 747 engine.

Once it's clean, a clay bar properly applied works wonders. Smooth!
If you put your hand in a plastic bag, you can feel all kinds of grit embedded in the paint. The clay bar pulls all of that out, leaving a surface so smooth flies can't land on it. They just skid off!

On my car I use the two bucket system, wash mitts, chamois dry, clay bar, toothbrush around the trim, DA polisher, hand glaze, wheel cleaner, glass cleaner, leather conditioner, and microfiber towels. That takes most of a half day or more.
On the bikes, I hose em down with the fan nozzle of my power washer, some greasy rags on the chain drive ones, hit the wheels with Simple Green, and wipe lemon Pledge on the paintwork. Half hour later I'm off riding.
I think the latter method is better.

... Motorcycles are kind of like Baskin Robbins... You're looking at 31 flavors of ice cream, don't you kind of want to know what they all taste like?...

I wash mine siting on a Harbor Freight stool using nothing but a spray bottle of fresh water and good rags. Having said that, my previous BRP Commander and Outlanders were regularly taken to the pressure car wash where they were subject to higher water pressures with no ill effects. I was always mindfull to not direct high pressure spray to critical areas. But they were full of a lot of mud unlike the spyder. I don't think you can hurt the Spyder with some water.......
