if you want to keep the actual tail lens clean, allpy some armour fend. its the same paint protection film i use at work on porsches, audis and land rovers. what i can do, since i have rolls at my house, is cut a piece that will fit over the tail lens perfe3ctly. you will not even notice its there. im getting ready to wrap my entire bike with it. it will also protect the paint from stone chips, make bug splat easier to wash off, you can also wax it, and it might even help if you accidently drop your bike. the armour fend acts like another barrier from the elements, but is perfectly clear and is very hard to notice.

let me know, its clear, and will not effect anything at all.

I used the honda cleaner and some elbow grease and it seemed to clean it up pretty well, thanks for the input.
