I hear what you are saying loud and clear,I love my black bike and truck but where the heck do all those fine scratches and swirl marks come from?
They come from dirty rags. Never use a rag on your bike that you wouldn't use on your face.
So thats the problem, hell, I use shop rags every morning, my face is rough!!! There's one in evey bunch...
