+1 on Turtle Wax ICE. Real easy and leaves a deep shine.

Use a duster or the air nozzle on the compressor or I just rub it for hours and hours and hours...

Cali Duster and Protect All. Grotts Garage has some great stuff to get rid of any fine swirls or scratches. I guess I'm one of the few that don't like Pledge. Seems like it attracts dust to me.

As far as I'm concerned, Harley makes two colors, Black and the other ones.
I've had great luck with the new turtle wax ICE. Keeps surface nice and slippery!

Google "Glare Polish". Pricey, but it REALLY works! I'll never use anything else.

In a word... Klassee. Once you've applied it correctly and that's important, a touch up with a quick detailer keeps it looking great.

S100 spray at lunch every day....wash it once a month or so. Detail it if we are going on a long trip, and that drives wifey crazy. She says why are you cleaning it it will just get dirty. I says why you clean the house when we have friends over.
