I don't have black denim, but the pewter denim paint on my bike is holding up great. I'm not much of a cleaner/polisher so the windex/rag combo works great for me, and IMO it doesn't show much dust/dirt/grime in between cleanings. I'll never have another bike without denim paint if I can help it, I love it.

I ride an '08 street bob with blue denim, bought this year with 20K miles on it. The great thing about the denim paint is that it handles wear like old jewelry, looking cooler the more age you get on it. I'm a HUGE fan of this finish, and wouldn't buy another bike without it now.
