Good luck. I clean mine atleast once a month....even if its a quick wash. Looks great when clean, but DAMN they sure get dirty quick. I use the Mequires NXT for wax atleast twice a year and that helps me out.

I am in the process of cleaning and detailing as I always do before it goes up on the lift for winter. I am trying Pledge for the first time and find it to be extremely easy and my chrome has not looked this good in years. Plegde leaves a nice wet look but will have to see how it holds up. I still need help on getting rid of a few deep scratches on the fairing caused by stones. Any ideas would be appreciated.

NU FINISH Scratch Doctor seems to work better than Mequir's Scratch X and 3M Scratch remover for me. Just removed some seat marks in the clear coat on my fender that others didn't touch. Of coarse it depends on how deep they are.

Just enough black on this one that I do not have to clean it like I did with my previous black bike
