Imp,

I don't know about the heat gun. Everyone on the forums have said that it works. And unfortunately I'm going to have to try it for the first time this week and its not on my machine. I wrecked my buddy's Raptor real hard the other day and there a ton of white streaks in the plastic now, for me try practice on. Let you know how it works.

Try Eagle 1's Plastic Protectant and Polish. It's like a spray wax. I bought it for my Jeep's soft top windows and found that on clean plastic it puts a very nice shine that lasts. Also helps with future clean ups too.

swytak,

Do you heat both sides of the crease? Since I have to do it on someone else's machine, I want to make sure I do it right. I feel bad enough about the wreck, no I want to try to fix it as best as I can. Some info and tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

you need to be carefull with the heat gun it starts to melt the plastics i know if your juss taking stickers off a blow drier works great. i have a black and grey raptor and its hard to keep clean i use the plexus stuff for quads in a aerosal can works prettty good.
