I would take off any aftermarket or billet parts, and try to sell them separately, making the bike look as stock and unmolested as possible. I don't think most buyers appreciate or are going to give you anything close to what aftermarket stuff is worth. I don't know what you're hoping to get for your bike, but if you look on ebay or on any of the Glamis web sites, there seems to be just a general glut of used quads for sale (maybe because of the economy?), which depresses prices overall, especially for a niche bike like the DS 650. As far as cleaning, I like the Gunk degreaser with the orange cap to get the motor clean, and good old Lemon pledge for a quick shine on the plastics.
