I just picked up my ATV yesterday from the dealer. It was used and had a few scuff marks on the plastic from tree branches etc. The plastic was also discoloured around the rear fenders likely from scuffs from boot soles. Anyway I tried cleaning with various spray cleaners etc. with no success. I went to the cleaning specialist of the household my wife, and asked for suggestions. She handed me this pad called magic eraser by Mr. Clean. Wet it and scrubbed. Anyway the scuffs and the dirt came off. So if you have any scuffs from tree sap or stubborn dirt you can't get off try this out. This didn't get rid of the scratches on the bike but the brown scuff marks worked wonders.

 

Thanks for the tip on the dirt and sap and what-not. As for the fine scratches from trees and brush, these are service stripes and to be displayed with honor. Not unlike a hunting gun that achieves that certain look that only time in the field and care can produce. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
