Default Got A Cleaning Question?

I ride my bike year round. Get caught in the rain several times during the winter and I don't tend to wash my bike often. Last night, I checked the forecast, and we are not gonna get any rain for a couple of days so I decided to clean up the bike. I gave it what I thought was a good scrubbing, but after blowing it off and wiping it down I noticed the black krinkle paint part of the motor looks kinda dull. Do any of you have a suggestion for making it look shiny again. It would help the look of my bike a good deal.

Thanks,

SugsPa

ArmorAll sprayed on a brush then brushed lightly will darken mat black or wrinkle black paint.
