Stay out of the woods For real though that might work for the little little rub marks, but unpainted plastic being what it is, does not buff or shine to well.

Back when mine was new and tried to keep it looking good I used a little rubbing compound to try to make it look better. It worked, but that got old very quick.

For cleaning it - try Dawn dish soap (splash a little on) the spray over with fantastic cleaner and scrub with a hard brissle brush. - wash off. Looks great - the combination pulls all the dirt out of the plastic.

I bought my 05 baja x used. I pulled all the stupid orange X stickers off of it, it made it look better, but now I have shiny new plastic surrounded by scratched and dingy plastic. ha. You can tell where the stickers were. I will try the soap and rag.
