Default getting back the factory shine on plastic????????

it was easy, we wiped it down with a solvant to remove any oils, wax or armoral.

sprayed a primier on, like a glue.

sprayed the mega-liner, then the UV.

It is as hard as a rock and has a life time guarantee. We also sprayed the plastic that goes up the back of the Avalanche, pannels that cover the tub and the light bar on top, any thing that was gray including bumpers. I forgot to take the tape off the break light that is up on the top of the cab. That tape is so hard that I can't get it off...lol

You would add 4-5 lbs to the bike, but that's not much.

THANKS, luvit, their coming over.

I have posted one picture on my page, that's all they would take. It will take a while to get approval.

Thanks Mike for resizing.

Prairie 360, I like to use Black Magic's Protectant. It seems to be much better than armor all - and I've used armor all for many years. With this product - after it 'dries' . you can buff it with a soft cloth for a brillant shine - and really beads up water! I also like Honda's Spray Polish - great for plastic , metal , and painted surfaces.

Honda's spray works alright, but when I want it to look nearly brand new (parades usually) Formula 2000 works AWESOME!! My quad hadn't looked that nice since I bought it. BUT, don't ride on a dusty day after that, it just sticks to the whole thing and looks terrible.

Just when you thought this thread was dead.......I just got my plastic polish in todays mail (ordered it when this thread started) and it works GREAT!!! I don't believe I saw this product mentioned in any part of this thread. It's called NOVUS Fine scratch Remover. They make three different strengths....this is #2. One of the quotes on the back of the bottle is "Removes fine scratches, haziness and abrasions from most plastic surfaces" and "restores faded and discolored plastics". It worked great on my V-Force plastic that was rubbed by a tarp (hood was very hazy but not anymore).
