303 Aerospace Protectant. It is what many pro used because it protects against the sun. It is designed for all plastic and rubber. Very popular in the boat industry. Makes my inner fairing look new.

Vinylex is a good product...and there are many other good ones out there. All I can tell you from running car washes for nearly 20 years is stay away from ArmorAll. It has a terrible name in the business.

+1 on that....with my Black Pearl bike, I really wouldn't want the inner fairing painted that color.....but that's my opinion....the 303 does a great job and gives it a decent shine which lasts....

I guess I'm in the minority but I don't think painted inner fairings look that great. I Armor-All mine once a year and it looks good enough for me. I spray it on a rag and coat it a couple times, letting it dry between coats. I've used Back-To-Black and like Armor-All better.

+1000 on the Pledge, I've used it on bikes, cars, trucks, boats, etc. great bug remover and gives a nice "not so blinding" shine to plastic pieces. I had my inner fairing painted to match, one less thing I "have" to clean with something other than soap and water. Just my .02

Before painting my inner fairing I used Windex most of the time. I tried Armor-All, which I use quite a bit on plastic and rubber products, tended to be hard to apply without streaking, so I normally didn't use it. If you could apply it easily it would probably protect the plastic from oxidation should it be exposed to the sunlight much of the time.
OT: As for the comment about AA and seats, I use it on my Mustang vinyl seat and have not had problems with the surface being slick--contrary to what I would've predicted. In fact, it may actually increase butt traction. YMMV. Mustang recommended Protect-All but I couldn't find the stuff around here.
