Denim Paint

Hi All,

First off, am I in the right forum?
Any way, I recently got a street bob with this flat black paint on it ( looks cool admittedly, but am a fan of gloss paint ) and I need to know how to look after the paint properly. I have read the owners manual and it states you should use ammonia based glass cleaner, have tried sourcing this but its like rockin horse poo. Most car glass cleaners dont have ammonia in and household cleaners have just trace amounts in, not ammonia based.
Is there anybody out there that has a good tip on keeping looking new?
I will be using Harley gloss to try and put a sheen on it.
Thanks
Ern

Re: Denim Paint

Ern,

I suspect you should be in the TC area, but we will still talk to you in here! Can't answer your question directly, other than suggest you visit your local Harley dealer. There is probably a Harley product, but this weekend is an open day at many dealers, to launch the 2010 models, so you can probably meet fellow denim owners.

duck oil works very well but it can take a long time to catch the duck
