Anyone know how to revitalize the black on my fairing graphics?

Considering masking off and trying a bumper black on it, anyone done this on a sticker?

Whatever you do will be temporary and likely need doing every week or two to keep the effect. I have similar fading on some black areas of my subframe that I wipe over with acf50 if I'm feeling like glamming it up but I know it'll be back to square one soon enough.

Treat it like it's paint and just give it a good hard polish, should come up like new.

Looks like you've been washing your bike with washing up liquid / detergent Tut Tut
