Guys;

What is the best method to successfully wash my aircraft? I plan on washing my plane this weekend for the first time. I was told by a friend to stay away from automotive car washes because they contain petroleum distillates for the most part, which can damage plastic. Another told me to use dish soap, which I used to use on my vehicles, but that stuff leaves streaks like mad. Do I need to cover static ports, etc before washing?....Can I use a soft bristle brush to get to the wings etc? Any advice appreciated....
