Anything i can buy to shine my gas tank back up any?
I got a 85 250r plastic tank, and it has some frosting or fading on it with a few scratch's. I took a razor blade and lightly scratched off some of the fading( which was probly a stupid idea huh?) And it helped alittle n looks a bit nicer. Anything i could buy or use to atleast get it so the fading u cant see or maybe some kind of paint that would work? do i gota sand anything maybe?

this may sound stupid, but, use a torch, or a heat gun to remove the scratches, and use armor-all, or OIL BASED stainless steel spray cleaner [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] we pressure wash machines at work, leave the tanks look faded white, so we spray them w/ the steel cleaner, or amor-all

I did actually think about usin a torch, i tried that on some rear plastics before and it turned out ok, but i did also jsut happen to look inside denniskirk's mag. and see some plastic stuff in there. i think im jsut gunna go ahead n try'em both, see how it goes. if anything, i'll just paint the stupid thing,lol.

I have used varous grits of sand paper on the scratches, then use a variaty pack of steel wool......Then use a plastic, rubber protectant and it will look like new. no chance of melting or blowing up [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

um...about that torch....its a good IDEA not to let it sit longer then 3 seconds, lol woops!. I was glazing some machines at work, and I left it on longer on a deep cut. I normaly have a scraping tool to smoothe it, but i didnt have one, I used my trusty finger!. so now, I got plastic burned into my skin, woops, yea, dont let it sit tooo long...[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
