Inside, inside or the part that faces you??

The black part that faces you, light spray of water to remove the dust....Then some Armorall or similar product....Find something that does not attract dust....

I use a cloth dampened with water. I also use a small paint brush to remove dust around the perimeter of the guages.

IMHO Don't use Armor-all - over a short time it will turn your plastic gray when you don't use it.
I used 303 Aerospace protectant from a local auto supply house. This stuff is an acrylic, dry's hard - and doesn't need constant re-apply's.
Of course the best thing to do is paint it! That's what I did and I never need to bother with that stuff again!

I just wash it with the rest of the bike. Meguiars car wash soap and a rag. Dry it with my Blaster.

DON'T use armorall, it will just attract dust. I just wipe it down with a towel when washing the bike. Over spray from washing the bike gets it wet enough to keep it clean. I will use a leaf blower on it to remove the water in small crevices.
