Clear Coating does make a difference
A few months ago, I had all the plastic clear coated to protect it for the duration. Makes a huge difference, and is much cheaper than painting.
Can you tell the difference between the stock fairing?

Yeah, I clear coated everything on my last racebike paintjob, it looks much nicer, and the decals definately look better for it.

Yes a shop did it. Pull all the fairings off, remove the grommets/screws, then have the shop clear it all. You can get as many layers as you want applied, the more the shinier. I got the guy to cut me a deal, $450 for all of it (not the tank, it comes cleared from the factory).
