Default Detailing Denim Paint?

Ok, love my new Pewter Denim Street Glide! Now, who has suggestions on cleaning and detailing the new denim paint? Any current owners had any success stories?

Wash as you would any other bike that is dirty, and after it is all dry I use TurtlewaxIce. Works for me.

I wash mine with a quality carwash soap when really dirty. I touch up the dust with windex. I tried the lemon pledge as some of suggested here but did NOT like the film that it left behind, especially with hand prints. I just invested in the Harely Gloss (expensive) but like it alot. Does a great job so far. I only use microfiber cloths on everything.

Turtle wax ice....I thought they said not to wax it? Have heard about the windex idea.
