Some say apply it and forget it until Spring. Let the dirt layers build up.

Others will give the bike the occasional rinse with water and maybe touch-up key areas with ACF.

Waste of money and time if you're going to thoroughly wash it and reapply.

Apply once and be brave. Hose it down after a bez out on road salt but other than that....

Might look like a dogshit sandwich come Spring but get some quality elbow grease in there and underneath it'll be exactly how it was before you spunked the purple magic on it.

Don't do anything.
That layer of crud that builds up is the best protection you can get.
