    Default For those with the matte finish on their Spyder - how do you care for it?

    I just brought home my 2014 RT Limited it has the matt finish i was wondering how is the best way to care for it.

    The same way you take care of your other bikes! I would use a good micro fiber towel not some thing that will leave lint! There are some polishes out there for matte finishes, wash and wax with them you'll be ok!

    Never wax... I mostly just use a detailer made for matte finishes. Lamonster's Black Diamond Matte is great but most motorcycle shops carry other brands that work in a pinch. Hose down the under side a couple of times a year.

    That is the best color by the way.

    A couple of capfuls of simple green in a quart sprayer. Works great!

    Great ideas, I have used Flitz matte finish cleaner and it puts just a tiny satin glow to it that looks nice
