Always use a HARLEY SOFTCLOTH (Part No. 94656-98) to apply cleaning products.
Washing
To wash translucent panels follow the instructions below:
  1. Rinse surface with water.
  2. Wash with Harley Wash or Harley Sun Wash.
  3. Rinse surface thoroughly with water.
  4. Dry with a clean chamois or soft dry natural fiber cloth.
Cleaning Between Washings
Untreated translucent body panels sometimes have a static charge that attracts dust. Applying Novus 1 will eliminate this condition.
To keep a high gloss finish on translucent panels follow the instructions below:
  1. Spray Novus 1 onto surface and wipe with Harley Softcloth.
    2. NOTE
    Rain or water will remove Novus 1 from body panels.
  2. Reapply Novus 1 as required to keep surfaces looking their best.
Polishing
Polishing translucent body panels results in greater surface gloss and a protective coating.
Apply Harley Glaze Polish and Sealant every six months or as required to keep translucent body panels protected and looking their best.
  1. Clean and dry surfaces to be polished. See Washing.
  2. Apply Harley Glaze Polish and Sealant to clean, slightly dampened cloth or sponge and apply to surface with a light overlapping motion. Make sure to cover all areas.
  3. Let Harley Glaze Polish and Sealant dry to a haze and buff off residue with a clean soft cloth or Harley Softcloth.

  2. Use a Harley Softcloth to apply Novus 2.
  3. After scratch or rub has been repaired, clean surface with Novus 1.
