What can I use to clean the plastics. What do most of you use and what do you reccamend?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

 

I use regular car wash and then shine her up with a little wd 40 or armor all wipes. Some people use lemon pledge for the shine but iv'e yet to use it.

 

I use an Armor all type made by soap man. It shines everything, even the heelgaurds and those are rough looking but I bet Armor all will do the same.

 

i use a product made by turtlewax called 2001. Its great to shine up the plastic and i use it on my truck too. you can use it to shine your tires also.

 

Found some stuff at my work , RAIN-X wax spray on and wipe dry for cars, (not the winshield stuff). works great and also repels water and mud.

 

On my Raptor, (Black& white), the 2001 extreme works great on the black[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] but if you are riding in dusty conditions, the dust will stick to it..On My Honda I use Pledge, On the ds I use meguiar's Quick Detailer..Us I have found different things work on different plastics, some people use mop & Glo, but I have not tried that yet...So my advise is to see what you got laying around, and test a small area and see what works best.

 

To make your plastic shine you can just wash it with car soap and then when the plastic is dry spray on some wd40 or wash your bike with soft scrub, simple green works really good too! give those a try and reply back and tell me how they work!

 

If you have any white plastic that's getting cruddy, use straight Clorox liquid bleach on a white rag. Rub like hell and it will take darn near anything out and make it white again. Watch it on your hands and don't breathe it in too much. I don't think you want to do this on colors, but it works great on white. Then Armor-All it.

I spray my Plastics down with tire wet then wipe them lightly to take off the excess. Shines pretty good but dirt does stick to it.

 

a cheap alternative i use is dish detergent. it cleans off all the dirt that will stay with just water. it works for me.
