What products do you guys use to clean the plastics, take the scuff marks out, things of that nature.
The other question what do you guys think of the super coolers. Do they really work any pos's or neg's please

Garden hose and some soapy water. I spray some Simple Green on the yucky stuff first though and let that do its job. Finish it up with some "Son of a Gun" by STP to make the plastic nice and shinny

little soap, and water and i also use simple green and let it soak before i scrub, i then scrub the tight area's where simple green is at so i i am scurbing with simple green and then i wash the entire quad really good and dry it, i then do a hot lap in my cul-de-sac. Take a towel and dry everything off really good and then i spray NO TOUCH tire dressing on the entire quad, wait a few minutes then wipe off.....wow better then show room shine.

Seems simple green is the answer, but how about the scuff marks.

Use a good car wash soap with warm water.

I let that dry and use Armor All wheel whipes to clean the rims and pipe. I then use Mothers to shine the pipe, and some stp son of a gun or armor all dashboard cleaner to shine the plastic, and condition the seat.

I use a concentrate called Red Thunder, works great! Just spray it on, let it sit, and hose it off, gets everything off!

Super Clean by Castrol works really well as well that stuff will clean just about anything spray it on let it sit for a couple minutes then wash it off with some water will clean all the parts very nicely. This stuff will clean an oily engine block nicely as well [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
