Not to worry, she has a Sporty and is way more anal about detailing than I am and if that works she'll be more than happy to lose a duster.

Dish soap and hot water with a brush that fits in between the fins then after it's dry the S100 is the stuff , works like magic and doesn't discolor chrome or paint . Works good on all the flat / wrinkle painted parts on the bike . S100 doesn't fill in for paint though so if ya got chips or anything they'll have to be painted first .

I use a .99 cent paint brush for trim, works great with a little degreaser and rinse.
