I use Mop-n-Glow for the plastic. it puts a wonderful shine on it, and it'll stay for a while too, makes it look like factory!!

I use degreaser on the Raptor (you know, where the joints get all gunky) and on the 400 when it gets a gunky spot. Just spray it on, leave it for about 10 minutes, and hose it off.

I've heard STP and Armor-All work on plastics, but never the Mop N Glo! I am going to have to try that! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Degreasing soapy water scoth brite pad and elbow grease works wonders on the mud caked pipe, makes it look brand new.

ranch0rider,
I'm located in the Western part of Kentucky. It's not far from KY Lake or Evansville, IN (kinda in the middle of the two). I'll look for some of that Spray Power. Maybe I can find some of it.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I've tried many of these things, but I'm yet to try some of them. Keep the ideas coming. Thanks.

After I clean my ATV, I like to go over it with a can of Prestone Silicone Spray. It is the only lubricate that I have found that is recommended for both metal and rubber/plastic surfaces. It also dries quickly leaving behind a protective film to the elements. I strongly recommend it for shaft boots and other rubber surfaces that are known to take a beating.

I always buy it at Wal-Mart for about $2 a can.
