Default Plastic Cleaner, Whats the best ??

What is the best product to use to clean & shine the plastic on a Sportsman.

I have used the following.
1) Armor All Tire foam- Seems to be the best.
2) Baby oil- Drys out to quick.
3) TIre Gel from Black Magic- ok but expensive.
4) Baby oil mixed with Armor All-Stills drys out to quick.
5) Silicone lubricant-drys out to fast.
6) I am now trying Pledge furniture polish.

I have heard that WD40 works good but I have not tried it yet.

I have used Armor All Tire foam and Pledge and they seem to work the best. I wash the ATV and spray one or the other on before I ride and it cleans up a lot easier when I'm done, I have major clay and mud at my place.

I WD40 my entire machine after i wash it and it looks new. Plus the dirt and mud come off easier after it been sprayed. I do all the moter and every thing else minus the brakes and seat.

I have used all the above and found nothing wroks better then Stoner plastic shine. Most autoparts have it. You just spray on a light mist and it covers all the scratches and shines like new.

Son Of A Gun. Clean quad with soap and water, dry quad, then spray it on, let it soak a few minutes, wipe it off.

I use the cheapest tire foam I can find and spray the whole machine. If you don't have time to wash before a ride it will even make the mud and dirt shine till you get on the trail.
