I dont have the denim paint but I tried this the other day after getting home from a 3 day ride and bike coated in bug guts. It works great! Fun to watch the bug goo bubble up with the peroxide and it all just wipes off with no effort......will do this from now on for sure. I am sure the denim paint has a clearcoat of some kind and you will be just fine with using the solution.

I've used the misture on many items without issue. Try it on the underside of one of your bags to make sure but I don't see how it could harm denim paint.

There is nothing in hydrogen peroxide that can hurt anything on your paint.

Been using this mixture for years on all sorts of paint, including denim. Works great, does not damage denim.

That is correct...hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2... just an extra molecule of Oxygen.. You can use it full strength.. Havent you ever used it on cuts??

LOTS of uses! Cuts, toe fungus (yuck), bugs, heck, my wife even put some in the flower vase and it keeps the flowers fresher for a longer period of time. I read somewhere it's even a better disinfectant then Clorox. Go figure.
