cleaning inner fairing

I was wondering if anyone had any tips for washing the plastic on the inner fairing.

I usually just wipe it down with a damp wash mit, followed with a dry towel.

I wipe it down with a damp towel and then take a micro fiber and spray it with detailer so it's just misted. use that to finish it off.

Micro fiber

I wash my inner fairing just like I wash the rest of my bike. Rinse off the loose stuff with the hose first, wash it with the micro fiber mit dipped in car wash soap, rinse mit in another bucket of plain clean water, hose rinse the soap off and blow dry along with the rest of the bike.
