Matte finish products are prone to trapping dirt, oils and other
contaminants. Always clean this type of finish with warm water and
a mild dish-washing detergent. Use a soft sponge to gently rub the
surface, then rinse with clean warm water. For stubborn stains such
as grease or oil, use a citrus-based cleaner. Spray the cleaner onto
the area and rub gently with a soft sponge. Allow the cleaner to sit
for a couple of minutes, then rinse well with clean warm water.
Repeat as needed.
NOTICE
Never use a polishing/buffing wax or any sponge that has an
abrasive surface when cleaning a matte finish. These products
will buff the matte surface of the finish and result in a glossy
finish. Never clean matte finishes with a pressure washer, as this
will further imbed contaminants into the clear coat and may
damage labels and decals.

The clear coat finish system used on all INDIAN® motorcycles
provides superior protection against the elements. To maximize
the benefits of this system, use the following guide to care for the
gloss finish on your motorcycle.
• During the first 30 days, when the finish is still fresh, clean the
motorcycle with a water rinse only.
• Do not wax the motorcycle for the first 60 days. Doing so can
cause loss of the gloss. After 60 days, use only waxes designed
for new clear coat finishes.
• Do not use pressurized water to wash the motorcycle. When
paint is still fresh, pressurized water could damage the finish. If
using a pressure washer is unavoidable, keep the spray nozzle
at least 24 inches (60 cm) away from the surface of the
motorcycle.
• Wash your motorcycle often, especially when exposed to salty,
dusty, acidic or alkaline environments.
• Use warm or cool water and a soft cloth for cleaning.
• Use soaps that are non-abrasive and have a neutral pH (non
acidic/non alkaline detergents).
