Default how to clean black primary cover?

Hey guys, I was giving the new bike a little spit shine today, and was wondering what you guys use to clean a black primary, cam, tranny covers... I'm used to chrome, and now sure the best way to tackle these with minimal damage/swirl marks... Thanks

Really? I use that on the engine itself, but do you mean you use it right on the gloss black covers?

Not on gloss black but I had a wrinkle black primary that I used it on and it worked great almost like new.

yeah, it's great stuff... I'm just not sure if it's best to use a metal polish, or just a detailer spray....

Original bike spirits Spray Polish/Cleaner. Shake well and often, one cloth to remove most dirt and product, a seperate one to next buff and remove the rest of the product.

Amsoil spray cleaner And wax. Works on black shiny or wrinkle engine parts and works on the rest of your bikes finish and windshield with a microfiber cloth.

Sounds good, I'll try it. I got a few stubborn bugs that aren't cleaning off, lol

Gloss black, treat it like the paint on your bike.
