New Paint

Just wondering if any body has an idea of what to use for polish or wax on the new scorched orange and denim black paint

Your new 2019 owners manual will tell you what to use.

Use no wax or polish on denim paint. Minimize rubbing to avoid it developing gloss. After washing, I dry mine with a blower. For quick detailing just use Windex and a microfiber cloth. Easy peasy.

HD Denim paint cleaner so far is the best. I have tried a few different ones and they don’t work as good as the HD brand.

I use what is below. I don't have denim paint on the bike however, my exhaust is flat black and it works fine on that.

Thanks for the replies, I am going to trade for a 2019 street glide in scorched orange and denim black, and I am one who likes to clean and wax bike! This may be a challenge cleaning this new bike! I love orange, but considered going with the silver flux and black fuse, it has same paint scheme as the orange except looks to me like the black is cleared over instead of denim.
