    I'm blessed to also have a HD Streetglide in matte paint.
    I use Windex to keep it looking good. Everything else I've tried makes it shiney, not matte.

    I have a 2016 Matte finish. I called Mequiar's for their recommendations. I use the Ultimate Quick Detailer for everyday cleaning and the Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner when she is really to dirty for just a Quick Detailer Spray. So far the matte finish is doing just fine. Beware of any product containing wax as it could put a high gloss on your paint finish. Good luck.

    Rat Wax

    Rat wax is a great product for matte finishes. I have two matte bikes currently and love this stuff! 100% maintains the matte appearance....no shine.

    I use the rat wax on my matte silver and my matte blue Harley! Love it. and DO NOT USE DAWN! it is to acidic(ph) and will eventually eat your paint!

    I Liquid Glass the shit out of my matte white 2016. I like how she sparkles just a little when I'm done.
