Default Inner fairing oxodation
What is the best way to get rid of the grayish oxidation on inner fairing plastic? Without painting.

303 Aerospace protectant, this topic has been discussed here before and someone turned me onto this stuff and it is awesome.Brings the color back and isn't greasy like armor all and protects against uv rays that causes the problem in the first place and you can use it in many applications.Pretty good prices on e-bay.

I've heard black shoe polish works wonders as well.

+1 on the 303 Protectant ....

http://www.303products.com/shop303/i...protectant.cfm

It is the best I've ever used ... and it doesn't attract all the dirt and dust!

I used Mother's "Back to Black" and it instantly turned the whitesh-gray right back to beautiful black. Like a miracle.

Appreciate the suggestions. I ride a Road King but my buddy's 09 Ultra has the same issue so I am passing along the info.

+1 on Mothers "Back to Black" Works great on the bike and the OL's cage too.

Bump on the a303. Works on the tires as well without causing loss of traction.

I use turtle wax ice liquid polish. Works great on the entire bike.

Lemon Pledge always seemed to work well for me on the inner fairing. But I didn't deal with oxidation either.
