Wipe it down with WD40, it makes it look nice and black.

Stick it in the dishwasher then WD it.
For some reason, the rubber stains.

WD40 is a good cleaner, works well on plastic also.

loaded it up today...looks good. gonna try to post a pic

what do you guys think...def didnt look like this when i got it
i actually sanded the plastics. they werent cracked at all but had rough grooves in them. so i sanded it all smooth, took all warning tags off and repainted it. has a rougher texture than what it looks like in the pic but still looks alot better than it did. now if you hit a briar patch, you wont even notice a thing. lol
