man, after riding in the damn cicada storms this summer, I will never complain about cleaning bugs again!

Soon as I got mine I gave it a good paste wax with Meguiar's wax. Wash with typical car wash and wax type solution and occasionally spray on a coat of C2V3 (similar to F11.. No problems so far. Enjoy!!

Turns out the F11 works great on the bronze armor just like it does on everything else. Just needed to wait a little longer before polishing.

Long time user of pledge but I never thought to use Windex on the chrome or of waxing them. Just picked up a new 2021 CVO Limited with the Bronze Armor paint. Glad I stumbled on this thread.
