You can wet sand and polish but prior to polish use like 3000 grit.

My pc guy says pure wax is fine, just don't use the wax with cleaners in it.
He's also a harley guy, been pc'ing for 25+ years, says he has aways used a damp micro fiber towel, windex, & wax if needed.

Default Mine's like paint

I have gloss black powdercoat on the forks and nacelle of my Fat Boy and I treat it just like paint as far as cleaning and wax. No issues.

Default Marring and swirls on Powder Coat.

I discovered some marring on some of my Glides Powder Coated parts yesterday and used this product. I picked it up at Street Vibes in Reno last year. It cleaned up the marring not sure if it will work on swirls. Nice and shiny now.
