There is no color that beats Gloss Black when it is clean! My 'Bob
and BadBoy are always clean or they are not ridden. If my wife would
let me buy a black Heritage, I would have one. (she pays for them).
Black is the only redeeming quality of my worthless Chevy truck. It is Onyx
Black. I believe it is the Blackest Black I have ever saw.

If you like the gloss black, keep it. Stop worrying so much about swirl marks and ride the damn thing.

Gloss black is the way it should be. everybody is doing the whole denim thing these days where I live. IMO Harleys should always be black. (gloss) So what it takes a little more work. I enjoy it.

Thanks. Just bought a bottle. Shipping costs almost 1/2 the price of the wax!

Just stay away from the rough towels and rags. I use a squirt bottle and lint free lens cloths on mine after each ride. I get a box of them and when the rag gets dirty it gets trashed. I also have this thing called a duster that looks like a small version of the dust mop janitors use for right after I uncover it to go ride.

As far as rags go I use old white t-shirts... I were the shirts 2 or 3 times and they have shrunk below my liking on length so I cut em up... Super soft cotton and works awesome...

Hey folks...I started using this on my car and holy crap it looks great. So of course I wused it on my gloss Balck bike and it looks great! Gies it a nice wet look! It cures a bit over 24 hours and looks better the next morning. I use all of their products for the cars and the bike. I know some have their preferences, as everybody should, but I can say your money wont go to waste on this stuff!

I alos recomend Black Wow for those plastic parts that get beaten down by the sun! Makes it look like showroom condition with out the typicall gloss finish Armor All gives it. Expensive, YES! $30 a bottle,,ouch! But my 2 year old MINI cooper looks like it is fresh off the showroom floor! So does the Harley ;-)
