Some motorcycles have a denim (flat or matte) finish. The denim finish has qualities which differ from high gloss finishes on all other Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Like denim fabric, denim paint burnishes or mars with age and use that adds character and personality to the finish. Refer to Care and Cleaning → Cleaning and General Care → Recommended Cleaning and Care Products for recommended products.

If scratched, the color coat of paint does nick/scuff and these marks cannot be rubbed out.
If polished, the finish will become less matte and more glossy over time.

How to Clean

For light deposits: Use DENIM PAINT CLEANER and a MICROFIBER DETAILING CLOTH. This treatment helps remove finger prints and light soil.

For heavier deposits: Use either SUNWASH BIKE SOAP and a clean WASH MITT or QUICK WASH. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
