Default UV damage to Fairing

Any ideas on what I can do to protect and restore the finish on the dash side of my Fairing?
I noticed my Fairing has sun damage on the upper right dash side. Wife and kids bought me a half cover for Fathers Day, but I noticed the damage this weekend.

I coated my inner with mothers back to black, and it looks good.

I have used pledge furniture polish with average results and Turtle Wax ICE liquid wax with better results.&nbsp\\; Turtle Wax ICE can be used on any surface and does not leave a residue.&nbsp\\; It put it back to the dark, dull black.
