After your quad is washed up nice, let it sit and dry. to make the plastic shine nice spray on some amor all protectant and wipe off. Also pledge wood cleaner works great too!!!

yea after i wash it i use Pro Prep works great. its a silicone based stuff. makes it shine i let it set for a few yrs or over nite if i can then wipe it off with a towl. but i want to know what to use to clean it.. like what kind of soap/detergeant to use to help aid in the cleanin process i use car wash stuff that is injected intot he pressure washer. and then soap it up and then take a rag and scrub it then rise it.. so is there any wash that helps waxes or helps get the dirty color out of white plastic?

For the WHITE plastic only--pure Clorox bleach on a white cotton rag. Rub like heck. Wear gloves. Really brings the dingie stuff back to life. Made my kids Blaster look new. The bleach might be too strong for the colored plastic so be careful there.

New finish 2001 and armor all seem to work nicely.

That's what I used on my warrior the white wall cleaner and then car wax. Took out the light scracthes and made it shine real nice and it's super smooth (aerodynamics) riiiiight.

I'm an auto broker so I deal with plastic stuff all the time. THere are several products that work well out there. If you ever scratch the plastic, McGuire's makes a product that will take it out if it isn't very deep. I can't remember the name, but it's something like "plastic scratch remover" (go figure) It comes in a blue bottle.

Has anyone tried solid gold on there bikes? I use it for my boat. It works wonders for shine on gel coats.
