WTF! (now thats outta the way!) Ya know you do all you can to be extra careful cleaning your bike but it never seems to be enough. I use only the best products, cleaning utensils etc.. and somehow I managed to get these really fine (spiderweb fine) scratches on the Nightster. First I noticed a few on the mirrors at first I actually thought they were spider webs strung across the mirrors then I went to wash the bike and I found the same scratches on the swingarm. This blows!I use microfibertowels to wash the bike and Mr clean spot-freesystem to shoot the soap on the bike so I am not pulling dirt out of the bucket and scratching the bike.
I got to say the black finished parts are really soft on the Nightster and as I amfinding scratch easily. Time to get polishing!

I'm not a fan of those 'microfiber' products, and have had problems using them on Black bikes and vehicles that I own.
I've even had problems using the microfiber towels on sunglasses.
Anymore I don't use anything except soft cotton (like an old 'broken in' t-shirt)..

This is the shiznit in paint care. It builds up a great protective coating, feels like silk to the touch and no swirrel marks. A buddy of mine uses it on his Ultra Classic and it looks amazing. You can also use it on all your chrome.

Some really good products can be found at Griot's Garage. Everything I've ever bought from them is top notch stuff.
