Default "denim" paint care

I was wondering what you guys with the factory "demin" flat paint are using to clean and protect it. I have the pacific blue denim and keeping it clean and dealing with slight scratches is difficult. I love the color but looking for advice to clean and protect. Thanks guys.

I have the Silver Denim on a FLHX, when I wash it I use a Wash n wax type cleaner when I do a full wash and when just doing a Quick clean-up I use water in a Spray bottle and a terry cloth towel........have no scratching issues.......yet.

Baby Shampoo mixed with water. Get a travel size bottle and mix it with about 24 ounces of water in a spray bottle. Shake and spray, wipe with a microfiber towel. Let it air dray. Your bike will look great and smell super fresh too!

I use Dawn dishsoap for washing. Harley Gloss or Windex (no ammonia) for clean ups in between. Cotton rag or microfiber. Also a California Duster works wonders too.

I asked this very same question. All I do is wash when needed and use windex. Windex made it look brand new, for a while at least.
