I keep the bike wet the entire time I am washing and using polishing soap on the chrome. I only let it dry when I am using my blower. I then blow out all the nooks and crannies with high pressure air.

I am pretty familiar with a lot of bikes and the first thing I do is remove seats and fairings and so forth. ALWAYS remove the license plate. There is dirt back there just WAITING to turn to a mud streak as soon as the owner drives off.

Bikes are a different animal than cars. Hard to use power tools on, and you need a lot of weird brushes.
