Most new bikes have a Base Coat, Clear Coat finish, where the Paint is applied on primer and then finished with a clear topcoat. For a very nice look, and great shine, superior protection.

Anything that touches your bike’s paint, has the probability to scratch it. Most people wash their bikes and dry it with a towel. Even this process over time takes it’s toll on your paint finish. Over time your paint will show these scratches mostly along areas you wipe with a towel or wipe off dust. Remember, dirt and water make mud! Properly washing you bike is the first step in a good detail job. Microfiber wash mitt and microfiber towels that are clean, are the only thing that should touch your paint, they will scratch less and over time look better than any other towel you could use.
