i used novus last week and made my EX plastic look brand new, the secret is using a buffer, but you have to be careful or it will burn little gouges into your plastic. i was very impressed. i had to do the same with mothers polish.

Hey guys, I was afraid a buffer would leave swirls, but I'll give it a try. You know what I JUST FOUND OUT!!
Someone said spray silicone, for shine, and water & mud falls right off!!!!!!!!!! What do ya think? Cycle shop said try applying a hair dryer.

That'll work for mud and heavy stuff but dust and lightweight grime will settle and stick to it....I'd rather the mud come off easy though....

I use Formula2001 since the spray silicon is usually too thick and leaves too heavy of a coat....

A buffer will work, but you should use a foam bonnet, the cloth one will heat up the plastic if you're not careful.

How often do you use Formula 2000? do you let it sit for a while or do you wipe it off right away????

After a good washing,
Try spraying WD30 on it and wipe down good. If you are only looking for a bit of a shine
and the mud will slid right off. But it won't cover scratches.
Where we ride is mostly muddy trails and it makes my quad look brand new.
Ride safe.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Next time you are servicing your quad retain the engine oil in a long cylinderical can for 24 hours , drain off top to within 1" of the bottom , wash quad and apply oil with soft cloth. Totally restores plastic plus foot guards like new. I discovered this by accident and highly recommend it.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
