Hey all you Arctic White owners. Have you found any particular type of paint care system that you think works best? Traditional car wax? Polish? Brand? etc.? Thanks.

There are a ton of posts regarding this... I'm sure someone will respond though. (I have a red one)

Arctic Silk White Care and Maintenance <- Very good thread.

Summary:

• WD40 to remove the silcon based chain lube from red rims and the tail
• Wash it by any method
• Wax it by any method, won't affect matte finish
• Dingo to say something about Honda cleaning product

Basics of paint maintenance apply regardless - minimize contact to surface while cleaning.

If you really want to keep it pristine, go look into auto detailing forums about upkeep methods as they're a lot more correct than anything anyone here will say. There's opportunity to get a matte finish protective coating, but nothing updated back on the recent thread: Film Protection Coverage & Opti-Coat

thanks @djshrug

Definitely going to get some of the chemical guys stuff that is mentioned in the video. Whatever it takes i really do think the AWS 959 is one of the best looking motorcycles ever made. Which is why I decided to pull the trigger after years of Ducati Dreaming lol.

The link that DJ Shrug put up before is exactly what I used, I bought the Chemical Guys stuff. Tbh, it didn't seem to make too much of a difference and it was pretty expensive (and took a while to get here too). I always found soapy water worked fine with my previous 959.

I am militant with wiping it down with a damp microfiber after pretty much every ride so nothing has hit my paint yet except water which has worked really well, including the back wheel =). With the death of the Twin in the superbikes i think i might be hanging onto this one for a pretty long time so I want to keep it as perfect as possible.

Then you must try the Honda Spray Cleaner and Polish my fellow friend!!! It will not disappoint you!

Yes, but I'm sure you can get it cheaper. I paid $5.xx per can when I got them last
