Default Denim blue
I have a new denim blue fat boy and I am afraid to wash/shine it. Does anybody know the correct steps?

No wax there a special cleaner you can buy just for the denim colors soap and water will work.

Bit the bullet and used that tonight. Finished it off with the denim cleaner from Harley. Fingers crossed I didn’t mess it up!
Just learning here. A mix of different finishes on this bike so trying to find what works best for each. It has the satin chrome and regular chrome finishes along with black! Looks sharp but I am a nervous wreck over what to put on which finish. Thanks for your help!
