Have you guys tried this stuff yet?

My dad recently bought a 05 fourtrax, that looks like it got raped by tree branches. Anyways, a plastic kit is very expensive. So i am wondering if the Plastic Restore Kit really does work like it says it does. I am not too sure, so i would like to see some pics/ reviews if possible, before i jump in and buy it

I have use it before on my Banshee, just before I went to the States to sling some sand. I was impressed on how it shined up the plastic, with some kind of a glazing. But where the blue was scratched, it didn't seem to do much. That was about 12 or so yrs ago, so it may have improved since then. Sorry, I need to get a scanner to show any pics.

Imo, I would be willing to try it again.

Stuff i used was called Renew....used it on a little 50 cc Suzuki that was faded and the plastic had turned chalky from being bleached in the sun. Used that Renew and it looked almost as new. Was kind of a pain to sand but was worth it in the end. If your plastic is just scratched it will take it out but if its been bent and stretched and you can see the discoloring then no it won't work for that. Basically you sand it down in three separate stages and then clear coat it. Its the sanding that takes the scrathces out and then fills them with the clear.

ohh ok, thanks guys, and yes it is called Plastic REnew, i just forgot the name of it . From what i hear, i am going to try it out for sure. Its only 30 bucks, but i just wanted to know if it really is worth it. And there is no discoloring on the plastics, They just got raped by a tree that's all

If you have white marks from the plastic being bent over or stretched, just hit it with a heat gun for a couple of minutes. It works great.

X2, I tried that with a hair dryer, which is slower, but after the white marks dissappeared, i had the impression that they were never there, good thing i took some before and after pics, that got deleted by accident

well, like i said, the pics got deleted by accident. But what i can tell you is to, take a hair dryer, or even a heat gun (it works better with a heat gun) and go with the heat under the plastic, right under the area where the whitening is located. Be careful with the heat gun, because they plastic will melt. As for those of you who will do it with a hair dryer, same tips, except keep the dryer as close as possible. Don't forget, To get a chair and some beer, then sit back and watch it happen
