Does anyone know of a readily available product that will keep the plastic parts of a quad looking shiny and new, as well as offer some protection at the same time? Thanks!

I own a 96 Red banshee and basically I use the same stuff I use on my car. If the plastic gets a little dull I use mothers back to black to bring back the shine and then put a coat of mothers carnuba wax on top to protect the plastic.

I read in one of ATV magazines that STP Son of a Gun Protectant can be sprayed on a clean machine and left on. Don't wash it off. It supposedly shines up the dull plastic. Haven't tried it yet, but plan to.

I use STP son of a gun cleaner and believe it or not, it does work awesome. I spray it on and leav it for about 5 min. Then i wipe off the excess. It works really good. Almost looks like new plastic and has the showroom shine. Also works good on tires. Its pretty much armour all but cheaper and doesnt brittle the plastic.

STP son of a gun. It really makes the plastic shine. Almost as good as new. Try a little bottle, you will be impressed.

Try furniture polish. It works great and doesn't leave the residue that STP of Armour All does.

Any brand will work as well as any other. I use the cheapest I can find.
