i have a '88 trx310R w/ white maier plastic. The plastic is stained a little around where my legs rub. What are some ways to remove the stains? I've heard to use bleach, sand paper, and SOS pads?? What do you guys use?

soft scrub with bleach and a tire brush works wonders

westly's bleach white (for white wall tires) works great!! spray it on and let it sit a little and wash off or if it is to bad use a soft brush but make shure there is no grimy stuff that could scrach the plastic.

Never use the purple stuff...it dulls the plastic and makes it look like it's been in the sun for years. Also eats the paint off painted surfaces...other than that it takes dirt right off...ha ha

The white plastic on my 87 Warrior has lost its shine, but its clean. When i get scuffs on it, clean steal wool takes em right off. Don't do this with glossy plastic though!
