Question What to clean Wrinkle Black with?

Sometimes you see a bike with the wrinkle black cases and they look great.
Has anyone found the perfect cleaner for this surface?

Personally I like the spray-on wipe-off car wax spray. Alot of people will tell you not to use wax under any curcumstance, but I use it every wash. It keeps a 'wet' look that I like. And unlike regular wax, it won't leave that white film.

When washing spray WD-40 on the black engine. Don't be shy. When you have it all doused then start up the bike and let it run. The bike will smoke as the wd 40 dries from the engine heat but after it has the engine will look like new.

22B,

I blew up your pic, the cases do look nice.

BTW, how do you like those Metzlers?
