Sorry folks. You are gonna hate... I bought a used bike with sun fade on interfairing. Two applications of pledge and it looks brand new. Lol! (seriously)

Hey, Pledge is under rated....try that first and you might be surprised (it's a cleaner, not a wax). Plus their is a non-abrasive wipe on polish called "Race Glaze" at auto zone.... this Works ! It will remove any fading and look like new !

Taking the inner fairing off has got to be a major job, just short of rebuilding the engine. I think I would rather try repainting mine in place with a paint roller than to try to take it off the bike.

2014 Street glide about to be one year old. Radio is fading seriously! What kind of warranty issue could this be under? If any? Has only had two oil changes ever. Makes me want to sell it and buy a boat. Just sayin...

Back before it was stolen, my other 03 had faded white spots in the usual places, I used Kiwi shoe polish liquid , with the foam on the bottle, put it on , and hand buffed the edges. It worked. I then used turtle wax ice on it after that.

I just stumbled upon an old bottle of mcguires interior restorer stuff ,polymer plastic rubber stuff in a spray bottle that is working better then anything ive tried before including things already mentioned. took the spray off and pored some on a rag and it did the trick all summer so far.
