This past Saturday after driving my Ducati 959 a couple of days it was already due for a cleaning. My Ducati 959 had seen rain which left behind topical water spots and had bugs on the front from my commute home. To clean my Ducati 959 I normally use the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant since it is formulated to use on matte and satin finishes.

Since I bought this Motorcycle brand new a few months back I want to keep it as perfect as possible as my first one was not a nice and expensive as the Ducati. To clean my Ducati I normally use the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant and a few Gold Plush Jr. Microfiber Towels. When using the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant I do not have to worry about the product altering the finish of a matte or satin finish since it was formulated to be used on these surfaces. The McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant is safe for decals and vinyl as well which is nice since the tank and side fairing have decals on the Instead of worrying about ruining them I just spray the over the entire area and wipe away.

What I really like and noticed when using the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant is the cleaning power on the lower areas and tail end of the motorcycle were chain grease usually slings the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant just lifts the chain grease right off and leaves a silky smooth finish behind.

The McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant is perfect to use the windscreen as well it will provide UV protection so it does not cloud up in the future.

I also use the McKee's 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant on the satin red wheels to maintain them instead of letting the dirt and dust build up.

McKee’s 37 Matte Finish Cleaner & Protectant
 
I've never worked on a matte finish, but if ever do, I know what product to pick up!
 
Thank you for the demonstration, Bryan. I see you had some on the rubber. I take it no issues like Armor All then? lol Probably ok with the foot peg too if the answer is "yes."


In coming odd questions:

Has it been tried as a rinseless? For larger jobs I would think this form is preferred; more lubricity, covers more ground, and less product usage.

Would there be a concentrate version in the future?

Going back to 'slippage,' would it be a stretch to use it to clean the steering wheel?

There are other products for interior cleaning, but it's just nice not have to switch/carry a bunch of products when you could do a quick clean up in one swoop.
