New bike in a can
Wash the bike so it's spotless, then spray it down with Maxima SC1. It'll shine and smell amazing, no way she could possibly object.
SC1?? - I use this stuff too.
Just a lightweight silicone oil, probably easiest to use a spray polish. Gives a good wet-look sheen, non-volatile, doesn't rub off too easily. This stuff is good and cheap if you don't mind the new-car smell: https://amzn.to/2Nj13I6 Alternatively, this gives a wet shine to latex or plastics: https://amzn.to/2ICKWV6
DON'T USE A PRESSURE WASHER!!!!
But before you clean your bike, go ahead and clean and lube your chain FIRST. Then, give the bike a quick spin for a few miles. That way any excess chain lube doesn't splatter all over your fresh detail job.
Wait for your bike to cool down (20-30 minutes on a 70 degree day)
Then just get a bucket of soapy water, and a sponge or clean soft rag and wipe your bike down. You can pretty much use that for every surface, but start with the painted bits, then move to things like the engine and wheels. After that I usually just wipe it down with another clean rag and some fresh clean water. Then I dry the bike with a chamois. After that I use a product called SC1 to give it that show room sparkle. Follow the directions on the can. It's pretty much just spray the crap all over and let it sit for a few minutes and then wipe it off with a soft clean dry rag.
It's a lot more involved than going to the drive through car wash, but your baby is worth it!
I have never heard of any place that details bikes. Hose it down with a liberal amount of this(Muc-Off works well too), wait, rinse it off , dry the bike and then use this stuff everywhere except the seat and grips. Your bike will look brand new and it will only take like 20 minutes. That's probably all a shop is going to do.
I store 8 bikes in mine. Never a problem. Though if you'd like to keep it looking clean, I can't recommend this enough.

After you get it as clean as possible, spray it with detailing spray, it works wonders. This stuff; Maxima SC1
