I should start this off by saying that if you are fine with the wash and ride approach to Denim Black, this post probably isn't for you. But if you are like me and have a mild case of OCD when it comes to care for your bike, I found a great product.

On my Denim Black paint I've used Harley Gloss (to shiny and streaky), Windex (worked fine but almost seemed to dry the paint out) and Harley Denim Paint Cleaner (best of the three but doesn't offer any protection).

After an exhaustive search I came across Meticulous Matte Detailer-For Satin Finish & Matt Finish Paint by an auto detail company in California called Chemical Guys - http://www.chemicalguys.com/Meticulo...spi_995_16.htm

I'm completely blown away at how good this stuff is. It contains no silicates or waxes and added a sleek feel to the paint without any gloss or shine. Nothing will stick to it. Bugs and dirt wipe right off with your hand. It's amazing

The best part is that unlike windex or H-D denim paint cleaner, it adds UV protection to the paint.

Here are a couple pics. Obviously it's hard to capture all this in pics, you'll just have to take my word for it if you want to try it.

 

I'll take your word on it, ordered me 2 for my 13 street glide I got a few weeks ago.

 

I just order 2 bottles

 

Ordering two bottles for my 2013 Fat Boy Lo - thanks for the info!

 

The tank seems a tad shiny for black denim. I don't think I've noticed mine shinning like that. At least I haven't seen it.

 

worth a shot seems like

 

I'll give chemical guys a free bump. They have amazing products at good prices. They have great customer service and a YouTube channel if you have any questions or need some how to help. I use their stuff on a fairly regular basis and am impressed with their products all the way around.

 

Will it work on black exhaust ????

 

ive used it on my black V&H short shots and it works great

 

thanks
