Arrow Inner fairing detail question for all
Which product are you using to freshen up the stock, black inner fairing? And how long does it last? Thanx.

I use novus 1 to clean it up. On the faded spots from the sun I use Mcguires Back to Black.

+1 on Pledge... Makes it look brand new and doesn't leave any greasey residue. It also works wonders on cleaning the windshield and hand controls

Back to Black, lasts about a month depending on exposure to the elements.

I've been a fan of Orange Pledge, (like my bike)...

I've used it on the painted, chrome, surfaces & windshield. Been leery trying it on the flat black inner fairing. Seen some botched jobs on the flat black surfaces, but not sure what they used.
