Does anyone know what to put on the plastics(body) of atv"s to keep from fading,,drying out,,cracking? Like a new vinyl or something? Thx

 

I have found the very best thing for plastics on ATV's. The secret potion is TIRE FOAM! That no touch crap you spray on your tires really shines up plastic. However, don't let it stay on there forever. After a few minutes wipe it off with a terry towel. I also found that Armor All spray works second best. Keep in mind that too much of this on your seat will make it slick!! Pure black seats also don't work great with this stuff.

 

I too was wondering this same question. Is there an actually atv product to do this as well????? I have heard of the tire foam, but have yet to try it.

 

I haven't ever heard of an actual product made specifically for ATV's. Tire foam doesn't really extend the life of plastic but you all have to try it out. It makes the plastic freaking glow!!!!
Here's a link to what i'm talking about:

Fading: Well I've not really seen too many fade, as long as they are protected from the sun. Keep it covered, or in a garage.

Drying out: I have not seen any of the newer plastics dry out. I'd really be surprised to see that.

Cracking: Well they only bend so far. I don't think there is a sure-fire way to keep it from cracking if it takes a hard enough hit.

The best think you can do for your plastics, IMO, is heavy duty automotive wax. Some kind of carnuba wax that you actually have to buff off by hand. I usually wax mine every few washes and that seems to keep it looking like new......

 

I Clean my quad with armoral avery week or so that seems to help it AND DO NOT LEAVE MUD ON IT EVERY DAY
