I will be in the market for a FLHX in about a month. Looking for Vivid black, but also like the denim black.

Does the black denim paint need any special care or type of wash than the other colors ?

 

NO wax or silicones. Wash with warm water and dish soap. Quick clean with non ammonia window cleaner. Super easy....

 

Soap and water for me... Wicked awesome look with denim.

Had denim with my cross bones. Loved the look, but it scratches easily and you can't buff it out.

 

H-D makes a special denim paint cleaner (spray). Works really well. Or you can use original formula Windex.

 

Love my black denim. Easy to clean and have never scratched it. The Vivid black for me was a nightmare. Hell you could look at it wrong and it would scratch it, never again.

 

Had pewter denim on my train. The denim paint looks great on about all bikes I have seen. The Denim Black SG is sweet!

 

It's easy to clean but a pain in the *** to maintain. make sure people don't finger f$% your bike (wipe hands/gloves on bike to feel the paint because it will scratch!!). if it's dusty wash it. You can either use the Harley "special" cleaner or windex. I won't get another denim bike, I even considered swapping the paint set or painting it. same problem with the wife's fatboy, it's denim, ugh....

 

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, but 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.

 

So far so good with mine. Mild soap and water. No problems
