Clear coat them with a rattle can. I can just wipe mine off with a damp cloth now!

Keeping the side panels clean
I am new to this forum, but I'm sure this topic has been beat to death already. In another post I mentioned my frustration at keeping the side panels clean from the exaust smoke and 1 guy mentioned carb cleaner on the yellow. My side panels are red - has anyone had any experience with colour fade, damage to the stickers or anything like that.
What does everyone else do. (I just don't want to have to spend an hour after every ride washing my side panels.)
I had also heard WD40 was good.
Second thought - if I coat the panels with something like this how does it affect your knees (clothing) when you have to ride with knees on the panels like when a day becomes riding on stutter bumps all day - kinda like this guy is doing...

which motor do you have that is putting out that much smoke that is does it after every ride?
I know after a few it can add up but after just one??
I would check my oil useage first... then try different oil, and finally scrubbing bubbles cleans the side panels in 30 seconds... (just be sure the can is warm) so you can save 59 minutes...
