Default Polishing inner fairing ?

Any ideas as what to use to clean the inner fairing on a R.G., it has a lot of 'faded' patches. Was thinking about trying 'Armoral' which I have used successfully on the dashboard of cars. Anyone ?...b.

I just did mine a month ago with Miguires Back to Black its designed for the exterior black trim on cars. Its held up great and lasted for at least three washings and a 250 mile rain soaked ride.

I despise Armor All!
On my inner faring, which had gone pretty gray especially on top, I used Turtle Wax "Trim Restorer". That was about 16 months ago, numerous washings, a few thousand miles and 3 trips to Florida and thus at least 3 times in the rain. It's just now barely starting to fade a little. I also used it on all the blak engine and transmission parts. It is still looking good and even hid a few spots where I had gotten wax into the textured black bits.

Both Armorall and Back to Black contain silicone. If you apply them, you'll never be able to paint it in the future.

Hi beanoboy,
I had the same fading problem with the inner fairing of my 09 Street Glide.
Harley has come out with a fix for this problem as opposed to tearing apart and painting.
The product is called "Black Inner Fairing & Trim REJUVENATOR"
I used it on my inner fairing and it really did the trick. You can purchase it at your local Harley dealer.
I am attaching a picture for you.
Cheers, Terry

Don't use armor all; it creates a dependency in the material & you will always hafta use it.

I too used Harley's Rejuvenator. Worked great and wasn't too expensive and it seems to last pretty well.
