+1 I love black, but my gloss black drove me crazy with the swirls and other scratches. I have 25K miles on my denim black X and love it. I use stoners window cleaner and the hd denim cleaner.

Another fan of denim paint here. If I can help it, I'll never own another bike with gloss paint. My bike is pewter denim and it doesn't show much dust or dirt. When I'm ready to clean it I break out the Windex and a microfiber towel. Have a scratch here or there, which is true for every bike I've had regardless of paint.

some of y'all make it sound like the denim paint is as delicate as fine china. i've had mine for over 3 years, and it's still in great shape. sure, i've got a few little scratches from road debris, buy you'll get that on any bike. other than that, no issues.
my owner's manual recommends windex with ammonia to clean it. not sure why everyone always says non-ammonia? it does say non-ammonia on the windshield.
i like it, it is so much easier to take care of than regular paint.

[quote=rnl_1200C;10936888]thanks for the feedback everyone.
I'm going back and forth between the vivid and denim.
I did the same thing and settled on denim black I like it, I have been real happy with the paint color and cleaning. The only time I say if only I went with Vivid black is when looking for parts. There seems to be more adds in the FS section on vivid black than denim.
