Help fxdb denim paint

Just bought 08 olive/black denim street bob last weekend
cleaned it first time today with just car wash soap and water
now I have spots on my front fender that wont come off...

what can I do to fix this?
I know you're not supposed to wax the denim?

also what are you SUPPOSED to do to clean up the denim paint good?

THANK YOU

ALSO to add to the above post,
there is still residue on the side of the tank and on the rear fender from where stickers were..

I have been hesitant to using brake/parts cleaner on the paint although I'm sure it would get it off...

any ideas as how I can remove the goo without messing with the flat paint?

thanks

Use alcohol to remove the sticky residue. And windex for water spots.

NEVER use brake/carb/parts cleaner on paint!!! That stuff removes paint!
I would use spray detailer on denim paint. I would not use most glass cleaners. Ammonia is too harsh to use on paint.
