SatinFinish - What is the best polish to use?
Hi - I purchased last October a 2023 F3 - Limited Edition - Satin Blue Mineral Spyder.
What are you using for a polish on this finish of paint color? Looking for suggestions.
Thank you in advance. Hope to have it out soon!

When I bought my 2022 S2S with the Satin/Matte finish, I was told to just wash it, it didn't need waxing...
But I also had it Simonized, how long that lasts we shall see?
Here is something I found on-line about taking care of the finish...

The only chemical I used on my RTL Matte finish was H2O. I never let a dirty or bug covered bike sit overnight. It got cleaned after each ride, even when on the road before the cover was put on for the night. Micro-fiber rags and a good squirt bottle of H2O were my best friends. And...... The rags can be rinsed out and squirt bottle filled for free at all motels!

While my Spyder is not a matte finish I have found bug removal window cleaner for car windshields works great for getting off the bugs. I keep a spray bottle on the Spyder always. I have used it on the windshield and so far so good. No wax in it.
