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 will burnish or mar with age and use, thus adding character and personality to the finish of the motorcycle. 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 SOFTCLOTH. This helps remove finger prints and light soil.

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