The pad on my Mullen has lost its shine due to sweat I guess from my hands.
What do you guys use to bring back the shine?
The pad.

Uncle Roy, It's what comes outta the speaker that counts, that's where the "shine" is more seat time more shine....

Uncle Roy
Turtle Wax tyre and trim will do the job, it will restore the finish on your pad and protect it from “sweaty paws”, use it sparingly with just a couple of drops rubbed on with a bit of sponge, then after a couple of minutes wipe it off with a damp microfibre cloth, finally give it a shine with a dry microfibre cloth.
I tried it on my Mullen with good results as seen below.
It can also be used with good protective effect on your motorcycle, especially if you have to keep it outside, but if your bike is in the bedroom it will look even better with shiny tyres and black trim!
Hopefully this will help you in your quest, J D can probably help you if you want a motorcycle!
Cheers, Robert

Happy it worked out for you and that I’m not the only one with a shiny “new”pad on my Mullen! 
P. S.
How nice does the bike look now?
