I use armor-all wipes also. It will streak, but if you rub it in with a dry towel it looks great.

Y'know, I'm thinkin' 'bout it - IIRC, that piece isn't DESIGNED to shine...
I was gonna say... 0.o

My inner fairing is flat black. Don't want it to shine (would look oily/greasy). I just use Windex, same as on my denim paint. Works for me.

Ice, from Turtle wax. I put it on all parts of my bike, including the seat. It works great on the inner fairing. Leaves no residue, streaks and doesn't leave a film like Armour all or other products. They also make a product called Clay Bar for deep cleaning(About once a year), but I find the Ice Detailer to work great on all surfaces of your scoot. Doesn't get chalky like paste wax. I'm totally sold on this stuff!

I use some stuff I got at the auto parts called "Back to Black"
Not shiney but takes away the sort of grey color.

Tried the Armor All Protectant Wipes today. They kinda suds up on the inner fairing. Does not go on good. Too thin for the matt finish, I think. You have the wipe it all off, and buff. Again, nice and clean, but not what I'm looking for.

Also tried the Black Magic Pro Shine Protectant. It went on much nicer and left a much nicer finish.

I also picked up some Meguire's Ultimate Quick Detailer. This is the best QD I have ever used on my tins. Finish is awsome.

I have also heard great news about the TW Ice products. Maybe I'll try them next.

I can't paint it....yet.

Thanks again guys.

Yep....that's it...maybe I'll just go buy a Honda so I have a shiny inner fairing.

Texas 2 Step, that inner plastic is flat and will not keep a shine, just keep it clean
