Default What do you use

When i dust off my bike with a dry micro fiber towel it just pushes the dirt around.
Is there a better way, what do you use.

Need to use a detailed spray to make it stick to micro fiber cloth. Any good name brand works.

I have had good luck with California Duster if it is just some light dust.

The Important thaing is to get the dust off first so you do not scratch the top clear coat.
I start with a Swifter duster, and use a new refill. After I dust the bike off, I then get the
bugs off with Harley bug remover or windex, next I use one of these two, S-100 detail
wax, or Honda spray cleaner & polish. Meguiars Detailer is also very good too. On my
32 Ford and the 56 BelAir I use Adams Polishs stuff afterI go over them with a Cal Duster
The old cars have High $$$ paint jobs, Harley has good paint too, but is mass produced.

Your dealer has a detailer spray that is awesome.
I've used a lot of them, it works as good as any and it's relatively cheap.

Maguire's detailer spray works great. Also try their quick wax spray.

Wizzard's or Chemical Guys hybrid V7 with micro fiber towels. I always keep my bike covered so there is less dust to scratch the paint. I give it a bath about once every three weeks.
