Default Puttin shine back in plastic

Does anybody of any good products that actually work from NAPA Auto Parts, Canadian Tire or anything like that would take the dull look out of plastic? Thanks

Default Puttin shine back in plastic

I had spoken to a few guys at the track who had show quality race quads that were put to good use daily and their secret was to use a propane torch (bernz-o-matic) and work it back and forth over the dull plastic to shine it back up. I tried it on one of my r/c car bodies and it does work, you just have to practice with it so as not to make a melt spot.

mop and glow workd good and fills in scratches over time it builds up. I use mop and glow every two months and tire armor all in between workd great.

STP son of a gun is what I have used for years.

Its not armorall and I would not recomend armorall.

I would also recomend removing your seat before applying. I soak my entire quad in STP SOG. and let set for an hour or sometimes over night. Then lightly wipe it down. It has always made them sine better than new IMO. It also makes cleanup easier the next time.
