I have a Red Brute and it has some scratches on it too. As far as I know there isn't much you can do about it. If there is, I would like to know as well.

 

What I do:

1) wash it
2) Use a tiny dab of vegetable oil on a damp rag. Rub it in gently, but thoroughly. Wipe it away with a dry lint-free cloth. The natural oil is safe for plastic, and will not turn it white, or crack it, like waxes or like that nasty armorall.)

May take two times of vegetable oil... The first time, the plastic will absorb it fast.

You should end-up with a nice dark plastic, that is not tacky or glossy. (LOL, works good for temporarily fixing many deep scratched CD's also.)

Do not use olive-oil, or a petroleum product. Petroleum oil is a solvent, to plastic. It cracks and turns white, because you are eating it away, with petroleum.

Before you laugh, try it. My black plastic looks good and vegetable oil is cheap.

cool ill try it thes afternoon

 

great...report back

 

Ive also heard baby oil but have yet to try

 

I have a black Polaris X2. Believe it or not, the owner's manual recommends using spray furniture polish after washing and letting it dry. I used Pledge and it works! It's easier to get mud stains off after a ride and shines everything up too.

 

I also heard of "pledge" over at highlighter.com...I go with Veggie oil because it is cheaper....I must say black plastic is tough to keep clean, i wish everybody luck in keeping it clean..

Black is the worst color u can buy on an atv. Back hides nothing the smallest little scratch will be noticable
