Some motorcycles have a denim (flat or matte) finish. The denim finish has qualities which differ from high gloss finishes on all other motorcycles. Like denim fabric, denim paint will burnish or mar with age and use, thus adding character and personality to the finish. For recommended products, refer to After Riding → Recommended Cleaning Products → Recommended Cleaning and Care 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.

Cleaning Denim Finish

For Light deposits: Use DENIM PAINT CLEANER and a SOFTCLOTH.

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