Hydrographics solve the problem
I made some changes just recently that others have encouraged me to post here, so I hope that you like it.
I have a 2013 RTL and last year I noticed that the rear plastic behind the wheel was getting quite oxidized, despite my use of Armour All, Lamonts Diamond product and other products, so I masked everything off and primed and painted it. It came out well and I was pleased.

This year I noticed that the dash ring and the lower side panels were getting bad but I decided that painting them was not enough. Of course the pictures above are what they looked like after I removed all the added coatings.
I have done a little Hydrodipping recently, but the complexity of these items really were too difficult for an amateur like me, so I took them to Tommy Wilkinson at www.dipwerx.com who is only about 30 miles from me and he helped me with a solution, that I was skeptical of doing myself.

So now you know, you can see for yourself, I consider it a homerun, your opinion may be different, but I like it.
If you are not familiar with Hydrodipping, just do a search on YouTube and you will find that the options are limitless.

Awesome...!!
Have seen them do wonders with the hydrodipping. We did it years ago..many many years ago floating oil paints on water and dipping paper on and picking it up. We never thought of doing paint...
