Default Armor All for Fairing?

GentleMen...
I've ALways Had Rigid frame Chops... Garage Built. Read: Pretty Ruff.
I bought This '06 Electra Glide New... LOVE IT. Also, My most Expensive Purchase, So I really keep it Nice. But, I Do Notice the "DashBoard" and Inner Fairing is obviously made of a different plastic than the outer Fairing....(Which is Painted and such and all... Duh)
My Question: What Do I use to protect the "finish" of the Inner Fairing or "DashBoard"? Armor-All?
I've been using some cleaning materials and even auto wax, But I do Notice I get this DRY Look to the Plastic... The Bike is Garaged, But Really that is just at Night...During the Day, its OUT in the Florida Sun. What Can I use so I Don't get that DRY White Plastic Look...
I Just always kept Armor-All out of My Bike Garages... Its a Hazard on Seats and Tires.

Thanks. Not used to these Fancy Toys... "Country Fried & THE MULE"

I just started using Vinylex by Lexol found at PebBoys. Another member suggested it last year and it really makes it look great. Put it on my jeep molding which sits outside and it has held up well.

Just get it painted. Using products is nothing more than a band-aid for a crappy non-finish.

If you've never used it, you won't believe how good it will make your entire bike look. steal your wife's Lemon Pledge and try it. I use it on my inner fairing, chrome and paint, even the leather seat and backrest.
