I agree with Wade just clean and wax the bike. If you have surface scratches us clay, polish, and wax. as far a chrome I use Blue Max Metal Polish cream or Meguiars Chrome Polish. There are a number of good brands.
You can find good instructions on youtube.
I do not hose the bike down just wash and rinse from a bucket.
Nothing right or wrong just what works for you.
Number one recommendation DO NOT use tire shine on the tires unless you want it to slide out from under you.
Don't think of it as work. Think of it as motorcycle foreplay.
