You can use any soap on it but if the soap is designed to leave your vehicle looking shiny then it will obviously make your bike look less matte. I have a matte titanium SF and I use chemical guys matte wash and matte wax. Keeps the paint looking like it is supposed to.

 

Wax is a no no as it doesn't buff properly on a matte surface. I use a product called 303 Aerospace Protectant but it needs to be applied heavily, wiped mostly off then another wipe to get it all uniform. Matte finishes are a bit of a pain. Easy once you get used to the fact it shows things that gloss finishes don't.

 

Actually P@rick Wax is not a "no no" for matte finishes. Matte finishes get that look because the surface of the paint is not smooth like a traditional Gloss finish. As long as whatever product wax or sealant you are applying does not "smooth" out that surface you can use it. Here is a link for the 3 products that I use on my bike.

Here is a picture of my bike after use of the products listed above.
