Mine's only a year old, but still looks great. Easy to clean. No worries.

I have Pewter Denim paint and use Windex for cleaning with no problems. A company called ColorRite has touch up paint for the Denim colors.

Still trying to get used to it, but it's definitely growing on me. Lets give it a few years. Those that have it seem to love it though. That silver denim is the best one in my humble opinion....

I wanted the silver denim pretty bad, but couldn't find one when I was buying. Bought black, love it.

FYI, there is no "clear coat" on it. It is just a flat paint and looks great. I've had a ton of compliments on it, it is different and I would buy it again in a heart beat.

go to the market and walk down the household cleaning goods aisle and pick up some PLEDGE WIPES, thats right that Pledge that mom used but now it comes in wipes, gives my bike that wet-look.

Almost 10,000 miles on mine and no issues…..wash at the car wash to get the bugs and stuff and then take a microfiber cloth and glass cleaner to it afterward to finish up.

Harley makes touch up for it. I bought some to touch up a small imperfection where I pulled the rear reflectors off. The touch up works well on Vance and Hines black pipes too.

Two Years and it looks new.

Lemon Pledge on microfiber cloth, I rarely wash it.

18 months, park outside daily at work extreme heat and rain everyday from june til november (in south florida) and my bike looks as good as the day i took it off the showroom floor. i use windex or even a generic window cleaner, it's all the same!!!
