lol scratched up..my 2002 has scratches all over her i guess thats just part of the sport..if you dont want scratches you pretty much need to buy new plastic,or maybe wet sanding not sure if that will work

Easy solution... cover it with stickers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] Thats what I did. Covered it with stickers from about 20 different ATV related companies. The best part is that it didn't cost me a dime

heyy...I have a few..considering the fact that I just flipped over today! I was wonerding if anyone could help me find out how much it would cost me to repair bent handlebars and wires connected to it. It was my friends 2003 yamaha bear tracker. We don't know what else is wrong with it yet but from what I can see its just the handle bars..I also hear a little clicking but I don't know from where. If anyone knows how much this is going to cost please let me know here or at Jeter166@aol.com. One more thing...how do you post a new topic on this thing! thanks

Plasic Renu is the only thing I've found. They dont give you enough sand paper so I had to buy other grits but if you have the time to do it right it looks more shinny than new. I had to use like 150 grit for the deep gouges & work up from there to steel wool & MANY coats of plastic renu. It also does a great job protecting stickers. All of my stickers are still on after 5 years & many washings.

I got a LOT of free stickers. I need to take a picture of it now. In my gallery under my headlight mod, you will get an idea what it looks like with them. I got all the stickers for free. Some of them like the HPD, RCR, and Hot Seat came with parts I ordered. I emailed other companies and got some more for free. Like AAEN, K&N, Titan tires, Renthal, Trailtech, Answer, Protaper, Thor, Heelclicker, Outerwears, PJ1, and a buch of other ones

I was at the Polaris dealer a few days ago and he had a product called scratch remover (I think that was the name of it) it was made by Polaris and it said that it was safe for the clear coated colors used by Polaris. It was in a plastic bottle and I think that it was $6.95.
Now, whether it is any good or not, is another question. It may not be any better than any aftermarket auto polishes or waxes. Having a sp 600 blue met. color on mine, so I may eventually wind up buying some just to see if it does work, but right now I can't say for sure.
If you buy some, let us know how good it is.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Hey Jim. Where do you buy Plastic Renu? I live in Texas and it may not be available.
