Default How Hard Is White Plastic To Keep Clean?

I am considereing buying white plastics for my 04' TLD, but I am wondering if the white plastic is prone to stains or any other problems that make it a hassle to keep clean?

My 2 Z's have a nice brown haze in the high friction areas ( boots & knees). White does look sharp when new though

I love my white. It dosent show scratches as much as the darker colors. The stains clean up pretty good with bleach white tire cleaner

Depending on what type of mud you get on it, and how long you leave it on can make a difference. Like Whitedog said, it takes a little extra effort if you want to keep it white. The Trail Boss is five years old, and the plastic still looks good when it's clean.

My Raptor was white and black, all the white plastic stayed nice and bright, but I washed it after every ride

Well i'm not the kind of person to let the thing get too dirty, wash it pretty much every ride. Also I dont go bogging through the mud at all, so I dont have to worry bout that. Looks like I'm making my orange and white TLD after all.

I'll try the bleach white. I found that any "cleaner" wax will also take out the stains and gives about 5 more mph.

Hey I have a white trailboss, and it does get stains, but the best part is it cleans right off with Comet. If you did this with any other color it wouldn't work. So I say go with the white, I wish they made more white quads.
