[QUOTE="Sunnyorlando, post: 1443723, member: 92915"] I have an '18 and while I love the color itself when it's perfectly clean, yet it does not last long. > It does buff to a shine where something rubs and there's no going back (that I know of). > No bodyshop wants deal with it. Whereas anyone can deal with with coats. > I've tried various cleaners of different brands and types of 'no wax based' as recommended andnand there's not much difference or bad results. > I've used Chemical Guys and other brand recommendations for protection, nothing makes any difference. > When it scratches there's no fixing. On a clear coat you can either buff it off or touch up. Not in this one. > It's bug spots easily and permanently if not cleaned soon. I would never buy another product of value (bike, car, helmet, etc) with matte paint. Other than that, I love the bike 😎 [/QUOTE]
