Plastic Restore

[Colorado Red]

I'm going to throw some Alba graphics on my 'Shee one of these days, and I thought I'd get the scratches off my fenders first. I heard of this stuff called Plastic Restore...anyone use it yet? (I think Dennis Kirk sells it)

If its a pain to use, forget it...I just thoght I'd freshen up the plastic that the graphics don't cover.

I heard of another type that you have to wet sand your fenders first...then the stuff wears off leaving fenders worse than before. I'm hoping this stuff is different.

Thats kind of what I thought....bummer.

I guess I'll throw my graphics on and spray the fenders with a little Armor All or something.

very time consuming. i was doing it on mx kx 500 for about 2 hours and said screw this. i wish banshee plastics were like my 500's 20 bucks a piece.

Try mop and glo from walmart instead of armor all

 

Ive tried both and love mop and glo

 

Ive seen alot or local racers prep their bikes with it before the race, keeps the mud from sticking, and makes them gleam

 

give it a try

i spent 14-16 hours using plastic renew on my uncles atv. they are a pain to do but if you have the patience and time its worth it

start with a rough sand paper and work ur way down to a real fine grit to get all ur scratches out. then clean them real good. then use the plastic renew. a friend of mine did that and his EX's plastics looked brand new. if ur not gonna get rid of the scratches theres no point in doing it.

yes, the lowers will fit left and right.

Couldn't have said it better. Been there, done that forget it. That product is a rip off in my opinion.

Worked great on my white plastics.Only gripe was it would come off in patches from pressure washing and reapplication was necessary.It did leave a nice shiny hard surface.
