cleaning denim paint
Dealer warned me off using windex - and Harley Gloss...
When I wash my bikes I usually use auto soap.. or dish soap.. and windex on the chrome.
So - what do you guys use when you wash your bikes that have denim paint?

Dish soap. Finish with amonia free window cleaner.
A friend of mine uses the new Harley cleaning stuff they have at the stealer. Not sure if I see a difference.
Plus I really don't like the Colorado Springs HD dealer. Haven't trusted a thing they say since I got my old Sporty there 5 years ago! just my .02 and experience.

It says right in the manual to use an ammonia based glass cleaner(windex) on denim paint. It's what I've been using for 2 years and my denim paint looks great.

+1 on the windex, works great. Nothing else ever needed to clean the tins beside it. It's cheap too.

When I had my SB with the Black Denim Paint I used car wash for major cleanings and Amonia Based Windex as per the manual for touchups. Both were followed by the Harley Gloss Spray. Also when I did get some scratches in the paint I had a very fine liquid rubbing compound that I used to remove them. Worked great....
