Default Your Fairing dash dulling?
earlier this spring the black on my inner/fairing on my 07 Road Glide was really dull in color from the past few years. I sprayed some of the Harley s100 engine brightner on a rag and rubbed it in real good and it brought it back to looking new.

Just a tip for ya.

Try some Vinylex on the dash to restore it to looking new. It has sunscreen in it so it protects it from the sun.
