Hello. I own a Polaris quad with thick plastic on it which can be filled. I have a lot of scratches on it as was wondering if there was any way I could fill it. If anyone knows how I can do this, it'd really help.

Thanks,
S Ganguly

 

there is good ways to help hide the scratches but filling them is prolly not gonna be a good idea, maybe better off just getting the new plasitcs. if you use STP son-of-a-gun and spray it on your plastics leave it for an hour or so and wipe it off it hides sctractes pretty well

 

PJ1 makes a product called Renew that fills and repairs scratched plastic. I have never used it and really would like to know how well it works,,anyone tried it out there??

 

Hello. 400crasher mentioned the PJ1 plastic renew. I haven't tried it either, but when I was racing dirt bikes I used to get all the dirt bike magazines and some tested this product with pictures and it seemed to work really well.
P.S. cool bike crasher, I had a KTM 300EXC I used to race in AMA District 14 enduroes.

 

i'm a neat freak when it comes to my quad but i started to learn that its a quad and that it has scratches and those scratches tell stories. Exspecial makes me mad when you bought it your self and it get scratched up.

 

first of all, I bought this machine used, so there were heavy scratches on it to begin with. Second, thanks fer all yall help. Third, whats this STP thing?

 

Depending on how deep and nasty the scratches are, they can be tamed a little with a propane torch. I heated it until it melted and it smoothed it out a little. The hardest thing is to apply heat from a distance so it doesnt burn the plastic and discolor it. I have sanded and buffed them with compound also, but you need a buffer and compound, and the plastic never regains its original shine. I have white plastic and will be trying something soon for the summer to purdy my babe up!LOL
