Cleaning Inner Fairing?

Just kind of curious what you guys use to clean and make sure the black does not fade on the inner fairing of a touring bike. On my streetglide I have used the armorall protectant and I like how it makes it shine and I was curious if this is good or not. Thanks for your answers

Armorall also has a product that makes surfaces look "dull".

Another product out there for black surfaces, i.e. running boards, bumper pads, etc. I think it's called Color Black

Thanks for the replies. My streetglide is brand new so I am not trying to bring the black back. I am just wondering what to use to protect it from fading. Armorall works good to make it shiny and to protect it I think. Shouldn't hurt the chrome around the gauges I wouldn't think. The only problem is it collects a little dust but that can be wiped off easily

I've had good luck with Lemon Pledge.

Not an expert - but a million cracked dashboards can't be wrong... unless Armorall has changed their formula in the last 10 years, it's loaded with alcohol which seeps into the dash, then dries it out over time causing cracking. I stopped using it long ago on automobiles for this reason. There are a couple of marine products I use - as well as one from Zaino bros. Sorry, the names escape me - but I'd second the Lemon Pledge as being fine... I have some very fine custom leather furniture - the manufacturer recommended pledge to keep them from drying out - so seems like it would be fine for a dash.

CycleCare33 makes some great motorcycle cleaning products. They make a vinyl and leather conditioner that I like for the dash. Looks good, smells good, works good.
