Gas On Fairings

Hey guys, I just got my R3 home! After washing the dust from transporting the bike home I noticed some staining on the fairings from the previous owner. I believe that the staining is from him being careless with the gas nozzle at the pump. Do you folks have any tips for removing these stains on the fairings?

WAX. Try some cleaner-wax with Carnauba. It will fix it right up. Circular motions. Like Miyagi. Wax on. Wax off.
:laugh:

I attempted using the cleaner wax and it worked! But this process took an extortionary long time. What worked much much better was my DA polisher to remove the marks, and then the cleaner wax to finish it up!

how would he get gas up by the mirrors? I think you just need to buff should be OK

I can't believe you had that much swirls on a brand new bike.
