We recommend use of the products listed above. If you
wish to use non recommended cleaning products, test
them only in an inconspicuous area on the vehicle's
surface first. Do NOT use abrasive or etching cleaners on
anodized surfaces! Doing so can result in damage to the
surface. (00227a)
Use ONLY Harley Spray Cleaner and Polish, or Harley
Gloss on painted surfaces. Use of other cleaners or
polishes can damage painted surfaces. (00228a)
NOTE:
See a Harley Davidson dealer for repair, restoration, or customization of anodized or painted
surfaces.
Observe warnings on labels of cleaning compounds.
Failure to follow warnings could result in death or serious
injury. (00076a)
