Default Washing your Denim Bob
I have an 09 Black Denim Bob and was wondering what you guys use to get yours looking MINT! I hear that Turtle Wax Ice is great for the seats. What about your painted areas? I now HD sells stuff, but is there anything else? I know the owners manual says any grease cutting dish soap and ammonia based glass cleaner.

Just wondering if you guys had any other suggestions...what do you use on your chrome?

thanks guys and gals!

Sort of the same here. I use an aerosol glass cleaner (3M in my case, but sur any kind would do) on the Denim surfaces and I use Honda Spray and Polish on all other surfaces (chrome, leather, gloss black, etc.)...

Yep, Windex really cleans up the Denim. just soap and water on the rest. I'm not much of a cleaner. I purchase my bike late Janurary, have 1000 miles on it now and washed it once so far.

Soap and water on the whole bike. If i feel that the crome needs some attention I use Blue-Job (love that name).

Black shoepolish (the kind with lots of fat in it) on the leather.
