Cleaning / Scratch Removal Tips

[JOESKIDOO]

Has anyone found a product out there that can clean and remove lite scratches from the plastics on atv's. I need something to buff out and polish for resale, etc.. Hint: never loan out your ride, it won't come back looking the same!!!!!

I heard if you use a heat gun it is supposed to clean it up nice but haven't tried yet but I will

Wash it real good and use that tire shine stuff on your black plastics. It`ll make them look new again. This picture is of my quad after I sprayed the black plastic. You can see the under side to compare.

I think that only works for Yammies blue plastic, when you get those white marks you heat up the plastic and it disappears.

it works on my honda too

what I like to do is sand it down with some steel wool, then heat it up till it looks a bit darker and let it dry.

I have used the Lemon Pledge on the plastic's and windshield and it works fairly well.

Heat gun to soften the scratches and then Mop 'n Glo to make it shine.

There is a product called PLASTIC RENEW you can get it from various places I got mine from Recycle in Stony Plain. It works good but takes lots of time. Basicaly you sand down al you plastic, I recomend removing it then apply this RENEW liquid. The kit comes with everything you need.

Ill vouch for the heat gun on the blue plastic, had to try it out thanks to the Medler and his driving skills.

I would suggest the renew kit as well,its like 20.00 bucks and 2-3 hours of your time.Black Magic or Mothers back to black works awsome on all the black trim.

WD-40 worked ok on some of my scratches.
