Keeping the Motor Black

The black wrinkle paint on my '08 Ultra Classic's motor is clean, but it's beginning to look faded. Are there any products that keep black wrinkle paint from looking old?

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll give S-100 a try. A friend also said Pig Spit is a good product. Anyone ever try it?

S-100 and Pig Spit work about exactly the same to me. If I had to choose I'd get Pig Spit though. It seems to make the black a small bit better looking in my opinion.

I agree on the Pig Spit. I use it after every wash and it works great.

Skip the small cans of expensive dealer stuff, go to autozone and get a big 4 dollar can of tire foam. Spray it on, blow it around with a leaf blower or air line to get it in the knooks and cranys, wipe the excess off the chrome. Lasts a long time for me.
