Best Way To Clean These Dirty Plastics.

[ATVridinMaNiAc]

I tried reading up on it and i saw something about the coin trick rubbing against plastic and then something about using a magic eraser. These plastics arent faded it just has this like oxidation acid rain looking shit all over it, not sure what you would call it but it has the little black stuff on it from sitting outside for ever, i wouldnt think it would be necessary to try and sand them or something, was curious what a good way to remove this would be without scratching or fading the plastic all to hell, thanks.

My buddy says that using Gojo soap cleans up white plastics extremely well, have yet to try it myself, but I do plan on it.

Ok, i might try that, yea the plastic is in good shape but damn that shit wont come off easily it seems, im curious if a magic eraser would work also.

I used awesome Orange on my old white plastics.

The dollar tree stuff? i guess i could try simple green, greased lightning and a few others i see at walmart.

It takes everything off the fender,, don't use it if you have decals either...

I bet that would work, but im trying to find something i could just walk into a store and buy or something id have laying around already to take care of these plastics, id have to order that and seems like it only comes in a case.

Wd40 works too, forgot about that

Ok.....first try a magic eraser. The things Actually do work wonders......I use them on my finances white z400 plastics all the time. Works great.

 

If there is some really nasty stuff on it that is more soaked in with the coloring other than being just on the surface.........try this.....in a VERY inconicuous spot as we use it on paint and gel-coat.....but never tried it on plastics...............toilet bowl cleaner. Yup....toilet bowl cleaner........we use it to remove rust stains and also use it to remove bottom paint dust that has settled on a smooth finish of a boat and gotten wet as the color will leach out and stain the boat. Put a little on a rag and use rubber gloves to keep the acid in it from burning you......just rub a little on area and see if that does.

my b inlaw uses engine degreaser on his, works good, If the toilet bowl is to harsh, try chrome wheel cleaner it's not as strong.

 

if all else fails wetsand finish with 600 grit and clearcoat, will look better than new.

i used hot water, mean green mixed with bleach & a SOS pad to make my white plastic come back to a pretty bright white. Now they look like new money

i got white plastics from a guy locally for my serval and all i used was bleech. it worked great.

[ATVridinMaNiAc]

Sweet. i got magic eraser, bleach, engine degreaser, and maybe toilet bowl cleaner that i can give a shot on them.

I've always used like Gojo or any of those automotive hand cleaners. The real gritty ones work great on white. Don't know if I would try them on black plastics because of swirls tho

Soft Scrub with Bleach is the cleaner that always worked on all my white plastics. I just put it on straight and buffed the plastics with a damp rag till they looked good as new, then rinse.

Worked great on oil stains, dark spots, mud staining, always made them look almost new. (It will take a little of the new shine away...but your plastics look to far gone to worry about that.)
