Default Cleaning Denim Black paint ???

My buddy just bought a Denim Black Street Glide, I told him I would ask something for him.
What do you guys use to do normal wipe down to clean the bike?
I told him I had heard people use Windex. But I thought I’d better ask so he doesn’t screw up his paint.

FYI: His last bike (with normal clearcoat paint) he loved the Honda Cleaner.

I use Meguiar's (spelling?) something or other quick detailer on my black bike, works well.

I thought someone said Denim painted bikes come w/some type of care instructions...?? Did the dealership relay this info?

Mostly know people using windex + micro fiber cloth because anything else (detail, pledge, cleaning sprays) can gloss the finish...

I wouldn't use Pledge unless they make a greaseless window cleaner. The original Pledge has grease/oil to treat wood surfaces.
