Also, some Rustoleum on any spots where the paint has scratched (bumpers, underbody etc) will make it look a lot better. Some like tire shine on the quads, but I think it makes them look a little odd. They sell a type that cleans the tires, but doesn't give it such an oily look (you spray it on a cloth and wipe it on) that IMO looks much better.

good old WD40 sprayed on everything makes it shine and keeps it from rusting.

A product that you can get a most automotive stores is Stoner Plastic shine. This work better than wd40, armour all, tire shine, pledge and whatever else. It covers all the fine scratches without looking oily. You just spray a fine mist on and it looks like new. Trust me it works great. I am a fanatic when it comes to my toys looking good. It wont attract dust like some of the others also. Just get a good old degreaser to clean the whole atv. Let it dry and spray the stoner on everything. (except the seat and hand grips).
