Yes, it's OK to wipe your bike with a cloth. It's OK to not bother too. Sometimes cyclists ride bikes in the rain, bikes don't melt.
...because they're worth it.It depends what results they hope for. If they want a high-gloss finish with ultimate shine, they will use an Illuminating Treatment Spray infused with Crystal Light Technology; if they need instant repair and increased strength, after cleaning they will use a Reconstruction Mask with Kera-Panthenol Complex. However, if a chemical to connect the body and mind of the rider to the bike is needed, an application of Brazilian Orange, Saffron and Cedarwood to one, and of Cardamom, Orange Blossom and Vanilla to the other, may be effective. Long distance and endurance competitors would doubtless do better with applications of Far Away or Far Away Infinity ...
And if you want to be seen and heard (in traffic I presume) there are special applications for that, too.
Or at least that's what a brochure I'm perusing, advises ...

a quick blast of WD 40 on key components will disperse the water (that's what it is designed for) and prevent corrosion. Keep it off braking surfaces, obviously.I think the issue is that I haven't used silicone spray in the past and I seem to have ended up with rust on certain components; the spray is the answer.
Is that the one where you add water to make it wet again?There is the new dry water favoured by bike packing crowd due to its lightweight properties.
Nah, SRAM water for the win.I find Shimano water is superior to Campag water.
