Hydralic fluid stains on black plastic

[STfella]

I have, what I believe to be, hydralic fluid stains on the black plastic part of a Honda ST1100 fairing. Does anyone know how to get rid of these ugly marks (short of replacing the panels).

Try and clean the stains as best you can with something like Car Buddy or Armourall cleaner and then try vinyl reviver - something like Armourall, Supreme Sheen or Turtle Wax Black Chrome.

If it still looks too patchy after that kind of treatment, clean it all over again and paint it with black VHT Vinyl & Carpet Spray Dye. I have touched up the lower fairing panels on my VFR using that stuff and it looks good.

If the fluid has eaten into the plastic you will make them look a bit better at least even if you can't get rid of any damage.
