    Try a warteless or rinseless wash such as UWWA, D114, or D115.

    Yes! It is a lighter black, almost greyish color, than the tank itself, which is matte black.

    Washing is difficult as my condo association does not allow "WASHING OF VEHICLES".

    The painted plastic, I would definitely wash, clay and cleaner wax.

    The "semi coarse strip" - is that painted?

    Sadly no pics of the surface, it's a glossy painted finish (again plastic) on the sides of the tank, and a semi coarse strip that rolls up the middle towards the triple clamp and around the ignition.

    I did use Quick detailer today, I know it won't provide any real protection, but it cleaned the plastic VERY well, will give it a bit to cure. Didn't use too much, just enough and used a light sweeping motion, drying all parts.

    Not too well versed in plastics.

    Do you have any pics of the surfaces you're talking about?

    I'm thinking a wash, clay and cleaner wax..

    Maybe ultimate quick detailer followed by ultimate wax or spray wax.

    What would you recommend to clean the plastic tank/rear cowl?

    Looking for something that would add protection as well as clean the surface and possibly remove blemishes (bugs, fingerprints, etc).
