Default Got her dirty, washed her up, but she don't shine as much.

I went riding just above the cajon summit just off I-15 sunday, out in the middle of the dessert. The DS got a little dirty, and took me a couple of hours to hose it off completely, and now I'm lookin for the best way to shine her back up. Any suggestion for getting rid of the dull look on the plastic?

here is what I was up against - Dirty DS

I use armor all original shine protectant. Works real nice. Spray it on and wipe it off after you wash it. Make sure the plastic is dry first.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

Actually I was trying to pull a couple of those blue dinosaurs out of the tar pits.

But seriously, this was definately a first for her. I usually avoid the stuff, but I just couldn't resist. Believe it or not, that was one trip through a ten foot section of soupy mud at about 20 mph. It looked more like dirty standing water, boy was I wrong, it was the nastiest little mud pit I've ever seen, about 2 feet deep. Luckily I had a five gallon can of water with me. I had to stand it up on end and wash the radiator. it had about 2 inches of mud across the radiator. Damn what a mess. I've definately had my fill of mud.
