General

If your vehicle has denim (flat or matte) finish please read below.

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

How to Clean

For heavier deposits:
1. Use grease cutting dishwashing detergent and a clean H-D wash-mitt. (Dilute the detergent per the instruction provided by its manufacturer.)
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
For light deposits, use glass cleaner (ammonia base) and H-D Soft Cloth. This helps remove finger prints and light soil.
For final detailing use H-D Gloss with H-D Soft Cloth.
