has anyone ever tried plastic renew seen adds for it. But never heard of anyone using it

 

Rob, I've used the Plastic Renew before, and it was alot of work preparing the plastic by sanding it several times over, of course if your careful you can use a power sander for faster results, any how the results were fantastic when I was finished. The only problem was it was like a clear coat finish over the plastic and scratched very easily and took alot of upkeep to keep it looking good.

I just read on another forum where this guy uses a propane torch to re-heat the plastic which in the molding process of the plastic, heat give the new looking shine. The heat in this case I guess melts the very small scratches & he said it look like it came off the showroom floor. He said watch you dont stay in one place too long & stay away from any gas sources. I think I'm a little afraid to try it though. Has any one else tried this?

 

I use plain ole' silicone spray lube. Spray it on, let sit for few minutes and gently rub it off. Make it shine and repels mud and water well. Best brand I have found is Pyroil.

I have black maier plastics on my quadzilla and after a good wash i use mop and glo floor finish that they sell in most supermarkets it gives the plastics a good new looking shine. but dont use it on the seat cover unless you want to slip around all day

I used a heat gun to heat the plastic to a
shine. It might sound foolish but it works, it melts the dull finish into a shine. I've used it on my Jetski to redo the bumpers and the sponsons.

I'm gonna try it on my TRX gas tank. It's all
faded out and nasty looking
