I very recently picked up a minty Matte Black 2011 R3R and am wondering what folks are using to keep theirs looking good. I know some folks with other bike brands use Windex (without ammonia) with good results but I'm not sure if the Triumph paint is different and I definitely don't want to make it look like He!!.

My ZX-14 is Matte Carbon but has a really good non-reflective clear coat so I use regular car wax and it looks great. I have almost always had black bikes but they were gloss and seemed much easier to keep clean.

Thanks in advance!

Windex window cleaner and a very soft cloth works a treat. Been using it on all my Matt painted Triumphs/Yamahas/Harleys
