For the most part, the body looks like it has flat black paint, which I don't think can be shiny. But with the other smaller areas such as where the gas tank is, you may want to use a hand polish because of its small area.
BTW, that's an amazing bike.

Never done a bike, but I guess you can apply the techniques you use on a vehicle. Looks like you can bring out the lustre on the front fairings, tank and fenders using a polish applied with a foam pad and then top it with a wax. Here's a link to Motorcycle Care. Some of the products they recommend are also used on vehicles. I saw this S100 MC Detail Kit at Top Of The LIne. Sorry Jatt, can't be of much more help.......

Bike paint care is more or less the same as car paint care yes??? I think Haw ^^ is correct on that. If that is the case, then polish and wax like he suggested.
If you want jatt, VB87 and I both know a bit about detailing,.....so we can chat at the upcoming meet if you want. In any event, try asking ppl that detail their bikes,.....as they would know better than us car ppl hahaha.
