I'm a nut case when it come to waxing and keeping my bikes clean. that's another reason I love this bike. My last bike had so much chrome, even a small puddle would have me polishing for a couple hours.
This bike is a quick wipe and done.
I really like Zymol polish for a wet deep black look. My bike arrived unscathed and one micro scratch resulted in a replaced panel from Honda. Although sweetheart did put a nice scratch in a saddlebag with her cute little boots

Now, about my tank, I'm still riding with chaps until weather warms up. I was seeing micro scratches from the leather chaps rubbing against the gas tank. I installed 3M paint protective film at those two locations. It was $20 for a 12X12 inch piece and I cut the two shapes myself, cutting round corners using a 1" socket as a pattern. This worked wonderful. It's almost invisible and can be remove if needed. I only wish I had used it where sweetie swings her boots over my saddlebags....
