Looking for advice on this task. I couldnt get the search function to work for some reason . I just bought my son an atv for xmas and would like to get the plastics as close to new as possible. They aren't bad (considering it's an atv). I was thinking wet sand 2000 grit and some polish but would like to know in detail what to use and how to do it. This is the quad. It has some light scratches but they're hard to see in pic. Thanx

I don't always believe what I see on you tube that's why I came here. I saw the video where they use a heat gun to CLEAN plastic. I'm looking for the"best" way. Idk if i would want to scrape the plastic .Thanks
 
Quote from mike phillips - " I've tried buffing out numerous gas tanks and fenders and to be honest I've never had much luck getting the surface to look new, as in smooth and shiny like nothing ever happened to it which is what most people want when they think about buffing out their dirt bike or quad.

This type of plastic doesn't lend itself well to being abraded with the end result looking new and/or original.


Maybe try some PlastX by hand or machine. It's primarily for clear plastics but might be worth a try."
