Black Denim Paint Owners...

I was looking for a SG in black denim. Of course HD doesn't make it in that color, reason why I went with the EGS. I'm glad I went that way anyways because I have an aftermarket HU and speakers with an amp that sounds 10X better than stock without having to toss out the factory radio which in turn means tossing out $$$$. Also, I'm not into chrome.
Exactly! I really don't care how my paint wears. I'm over all the shiny paint jobs and blinged out chrome. I'll take primer over shine anyday!

We were at the dealership recently and I was talking about how my next buy will have the black denim. The mgr calls me over to a denim bike. He states that they have had quite a bit of trouble with them and runs his fingernail across the tank, leaving marks. The marks wouldn't wipe off. I played tic-tac-toe right there on a tank...just little white lines all over it.
Then we went to the main dealership store. Here it was different. They invited me to fingernail-drag across four different denim bikes...nothing. No marks. No lines. Just real cool paint. The salesman told us that the other store uses Showtime cleaner/polish on all of their inventory. This product has wax, and that it is only this wax that is scratching. He told me the manual indicates what can and cannot be used. He stated that he uses Windex. He also said the mgr at the other location is a moron and has been told what he should use on the denim paints. I'm a believer.

Had my 07 SG done in black denim. The paint has flat clear mixed in with it. Easiest paint I've ever maintained. I clean it with McGuiars Quick Detailer. Spray on and wipe off. I've been on rides through three straight states and the only mark I have is from a small rock that barely scarred the front fairing.
