My bike was left out uncovered in the weather for 6 months from May to December at my dealers waiting for a part from Italy. As a result the textured black panels were bleached to a light grey.
So, what I'm looking for is the best product and/or technique to restore them. The smooth black panels were unaffected.

I'd appreciate anyone's recommendation from their experience.

Sounds to me since the dealer caused the paint "damage" then they should make you whole by repainting all of the plastic panels to the factory color using the factory paints and the factory procedures.

heat will restore the color
also there are unpainted plastic restore sprays
Polytrol is a flued that you can wipe on and after 5 min wiping it clean
