What is everyone using to keep inner fairing black? I noticed today below my radio (lower edge) has a hint of white starting to show and I know there has to be a product that helps keep plastic moist.
Thanks

Turtle Wax Ice keeps my stock black inner fairing,handlebar controls and radio looking new.I found and use something else besides Ice on the tins but can't beat the Ice on the inner fairing.If you really want to go crazy and make it look nice around the detailed stuff like around the gages etc you can use a Q-Tip

After application wait a couple of minutes and gently buff with a soft cloth

I haven't done this, but good project is to paint the inner fairing. I'm pondering taking this on during our winter riding hiatis in NE. This way it won't fade & can paint to match bike.

No prob...It's a clear polish meant mostly for painted surfaces but you can get it on plastic.rubber etc and it won't turn white,kind of has an ArmourAll effect on those areas.

Now that's it's been out a few years it's easy to find like at Walmart etc...

Any problem using Armor All? I hope not. I put it on my inner fairing 2 days ago. Sure does look good.

Lucas has an interior detailer that I recently used on some older interior pieces of my car. It worked well leaving behind a medium sheen but a much deeper color like new plastic.
