After about 60k km my Ninja 250 dash trim was starting to get faded and had those not so nice looking white stains from accidental carnauba wax polish contact. I picked up this stuff from Canadian Tire for about 12 bucks, after I was about to get Mothers Back to Black, the name caught my attention because that's exactly what I was looking for. The sales associate recommended it over Mothers and man I'm impressed. I used about a nickle sized amount on either side and barely had to rub it in, it brought back the glossy black finish and took care of the wax stains no problem. For a motorcycle I'd expect the bottle to last at least a couple years. You pay a couple more dollars for this Auto Glym stuff but I think its worth it, its all I'll get from now on. Gotta give it a 10/10.

Thanks for this. I am going to look at this on my current resto.
 
I use Mothers too. I'll give this stuff a try.
Some old school biker told me he used to use vaseline to bring the black back. Apply vaseline for 24 hours and wipe off and watch the shine.
I am going to try that this spring and see what happens.
 
You are going to laugh but I have yet to find a better product then Peanut Butter.

+1. It removes wax really well from black plastic trim.

OP - try Plexus for all your plastic pieces including fairings. You can even use it to protect the outside of your helmet visor.

It's pricey but works great.

I would avoid the use of petroleum based agents on any type of plastics. Just my $.02
