Wash & wax is best for washing the paintwork. Wet the bike with water first (a hose is good ) and then wash the bike down using a sponge on the painted panels and a soft brush everywhere else. I use the kind of brush which is sold for cleaning car wheels, it can be attached to the hose but I never use it that way.

When the bike is rinsed I used a chamois to leather it off and then, if the bike is lucky it gets a wax. Avoid using chrome cleaners on chrome, they tend to be abrasive. Just the normal wash&wax will do the job.

And I would be inclined not to use the pressure washer, they can do a lot of damage.
