Cleaning a Monster Dark
We've got a M750 Dark, are there any special instructions for cleaning the matt panels, and can you protect them with anything (I can't imagine you could polish them)?
Cheers |

Meguiars quick detailer after a general wash would finish it off nicely.

Will it make the matt finish shiny? I'm looking to keep it matt.

No it shouldn't, I use it all over my cars and bikes, it will just dry to its original finish.

HI
On my matte paint I was just using Vulcanet Wipes which gives a good streak free clean However on special occasions I use Muc Off Miracle Shine which I find gives a even nicer finish and doesnt 'shine' matte paint! Muc Off Miracle Shine

Hi Char (and others),
I'm looking for a product that will protect the finish, a bit like polish you'd use on the tank and other painted parts on non matte bikes. There seems to be a few out now that matte seems to be flavour of the year |

Maguiers great stuff...
Their products are very good ! Volcanet wipes deal with Matt finish well. I wouldn't touch Muck off products now after what their cleAner did to my Matt stuff on my bike! I know that's just the cleaner . My local shop has stopped selling cleaner due to complaints. It left white marks on my Matt stuff which never came off. Also on my other bike with black engine made a mess of that. Yes I did use as directed. On that count I have zero faith in their products . Merguires products are good. Volcanet wipes do my Matt black paint a treat. |

I had a matt black Harley XR1200X for 3 years before my evo so I've had plenty of experience with this paint finish. If you don't want it shiny, keep any wax polish including silicone type (e.g. Mr Sheen) away from it. The manufacturers generally say wash and microfibre cloth dry, which is fine. Window cleaner from the pound shop works well too. Just touch it as little as possible and keep grease away from it and it will be fine. It's actually easier to have a surface you can polish...
