I have a white XB9R and I just removed some of the stock stickers and it seems that the bike is discolored. Does anyone know of a good way to clean the fairings. | ||

It's the american motorcycle sticker under where it says BUELL. Soap and water won't do it, it is almost like the white is oxidized and has a yellow tint to it and where the sticker was it is really white. | ||

Its faded. Nothing you can do to bring it back either. | ||

some superfine wet sandpaper like 4000 grit MIGHT be able to get the color matched | ||

Whoooaa, watch out for that thin top coat. There was a thread recently about it peeling. Since then I've got a few more spots doing it (airbox cover where zipper hits...but my zipper is enclosed?). Once it starts it doesn't stop so be very careful with sandpaper! | ||

Try Meguires plastic polish (it used to be sold in a faded blue color bottle). Its for fly screens so its pretty tame, use a real nice soft terry cloth towel and some elbow grease. Its good stuff and if it doesnt help it wont go to waste since you can use it on all plastic. | ||

Try Clorox Cleanup. It's a cleaner with bleach. Works on white Kydex plastic anyways. You'll have to let it soak for awhile. | ||

420at145mph: You said "mine fell off one at a time while washing it". Um, how exactly do you wash your bike? With a power sprayer, sand paper, with an acid-based soap?  | ||
