I just bought my Black Denim a month ago and love it.. My wife likes pretty bikes and says it looks like primer.... But I am in love !!!! Anyway, I am a stickler with cleaning my bike, I use the Denim Cleaner stuff that Harley makes and I purchased a product from a few recommendations on here by chemical guys. http://www.chemicalguys.com/ProductD...16&Click=56722
This stuff is great, all the bugs just wipe right off, it does not make it shine and adds a slick feel to it. It also says it adds UV protection in it. Now I don't know about all that since it can't be seen with the naked eye. But this is the best product I have found out there available to clean it with...

I mainly use Windex and a soft rag. But I don't scrub or do a lot of wiping. I also use Windex all over my bike.

the denim paint set isnt much different as its just a flat base coat with an eggshell clear coat vs a gloss base with a satin clear coat. Cleaning isn't much different other then HD suggests not using wax based products that will build up on an eggshell finsh. Denim cleaner isn't much more then glass cleaner where as HD gloss cleaner and many other gloss cleaners has a cannuba additive.
