I use wax on the lower fairing, why do you think that it's not a good thing?
I didn't think it's a good thing because it is flat. Not any other reason other than it's flat. Removing wax from a flat (non-gloss) surface is TOUGH!
@Steve, I wash mine when time allows. I generally am riding it. Now it's too DAMNED HOT! When I get on my bike to go for a quick shot up to the grocery, and I wind up smelling like two-a-days, it's too hot! Ironically, I have never parked my bike because it's too cold!
There have been a couple of times that you couldn't tell the color of it.
