I had a Olivegreen /Black Nightster I just used my Mequiar's quick detail spray .I weekend it down to 50% with distilled water .This kept a low gloss and still gave some UV protection.

Goodluck Ride safe!

Harley gloss that's a wax! You aren't supposed to wax denim paint at all! that will make your bike become glossy over time. If you really want to wax your bike any thing will work it's all good and there must be 100 threads on here about wax!

O And I went to wal mart and got 15 microfiber sheets 20x20 for 11$$

when I bought my 07 I was told(by dealer) to clean with plain windex... it is cheap, and works like a charm.

That's exactly what is written in the manual "use ammonia based glass cleaner!"
