Rich, I had a similar problems with oxidation/fading on my 2003 Mountaineer 315RLS from continued southern exposure in the hot Wyoming sun. Tried all kinds of waxes/cleaners and nothing would work. Then tried a product called "Polyglow" available on the internet - worked well, brought back the original luster, didn't effect the decals. Applied in the early spring, water still beads like new - will see how long it lasts. Do a search under "Front Cap Rejuvination" for early discussion.
Also had lower skirt attachments loosening, so far just used oversized flat washers with lock washers and seems to be holding.
