RE: cleaning
I had the same problem with a Superglide I owned. I sprayed the motor with degreaser while still hot. Man, did that do a number on the aluminum parts!! Sorry, but I'll bet you'll be switching out parts as affordable. Waxing won't hold up under the engine temperature. I did swap my parts in trade for chromed ones at a local h-d speed shop. It cut my cost by a lot compared to just buying them at the h-d dealership. But good luck with buffing them up if swapping out isn't an option.
