Hey guys. This is my first thread and picked up my first bike (2012 Fatboy Lo) last Friday. To say the least, I am pretty exited for this summer. I have to ask you, what is/are some good cleaning products for the denim black and black wrinkle finishes? what should I NOT use to clean it as well, so I can be sure to stay away from them as well. I don't want to ruin the paint using something that I shouldn't.

Windex is the way to go. I go to Sams Club and get a gallon bottle of it, I mix it with water in a bucket for heavy cleaning, or just spray it on for touch ups. Do not use any soap, or anything with any oils or waxes in it, otherwise you will have a perma shine paint job. Windex or nothing as far as I'm concerned

 

Windex.

 

Swissvax all the way for me. They make a range of products specially for matt finishes.

Not cheap but damn fine stuff!

Thanks guys. I had heard to use Windex, but wasn't sure about it. Appreciate the feedback. Will try it out.

 

+1 on the Windex for everyday touch-ups.

But why not wax once in a while?
After all, it is paint with clearcoat...

I asked the guy who did my powdercoat and he recommended Eagle One NanoWax.
After some searching I finally found it at Pep Boys, and I gotta tell you, this is great stuff.
It covers any small scratches and actually adds a little shine to the denim.
It works even better on the gloss black parts.

 

Windex works great on Denim paint. For the wrinkle black S100 Engine Brightener or Pig Spit really cleans and darkens the black engine parts.

 

Just don't rub it a lot. Where my jeans/chaps bend at my knee, it's rubbed a small shiny spot on the right side of my tank. I never knew my leg was that close to it.
