Default Cleaning my new ride...

Hello everyone! First post so please bear with me.

I bought my first HD (rocker c) about a month ago and already have 1,600 miles on it! She's gotten a little grimy and I am pretty apprehensive about cleaning her. I just don't want to scratch anything and really don't know what products to use on say the chrome, wheels, painted surfaces or the leather seat.

Basically if you could help me out with products and methods my bike and I would really appreciate it.

Also, I am planning on getting some V&H big radius pipes, power commander and a kuryakyn hypercharger on it. I don't really know much about bike mechanics and was wondering if this was a good combo of mods / how it might impact the longevity of engine/other mechanic parts.

I know the parts guy at my local HD store said the power commander would affect my warranty except that I could just unplug it when it goes in for inspection.

Sorry for the long post and I will thank you ahead of time for your replies!

Ride safe!
