Default GASOLINE STAINED PLASTICS!!

AHHHH! I was filling up my tank today and wasn't thinking and all of a sudden some random dog came up behind me and started sniffing me. It scared the crap out of me and I spilled gas all down the side of my tank. Now it looks like somebody buffed it with sand paper and it pains me to look at it. Are there any ways of shining it up to look any better? I've tried armor all, plastic shiner, car detailer, quick wax etc. etc. I have some Plastic Renew, but I don't wanna use it because it takes so freaking long, but I will if i have to. Normally I wouldn't care, but my fourwheeler is only a month old. Any ideas would be GREATLY appreciated

happened to me all the time.. eventually the gas just dules out... there is a product at autozone called Back to Black by Mothers... it's about $6 a bottle and a 1/4 of the bottle does the entire plastic( check my galelry for proof on how good it shines plastic) it will take the staining out.. what color is your plastiC?

yeah thats not what i meant. il wait till they get scratched up and dulled from the sun... i have a pressure washer that i can get every little bit of dirt off with. if it gets scratched enough , il even take the plastics off and clean them up with my Plastic Renew, i bought it so i could sell my old quad but then i sold it to my friends dad and he didnt care.

get the autozone wax applicators too... those help with application.. i took my plastic off my warrior, took it inside, hand washed it all in my room with window cleaner and papertowels then did it all...
