Pulled some winter toys out to get them cleaned up and pull some maint.
Products used:
Meguiars Soft Wash Gel
Meguiars Plastx
Meguiars Ultimate Black
Meguiar's Gold Class Liquid Wax
Duragloss 821 All Wheel Cleaner
Duragloss 221 Leather Conditioner
Griot's Orange Pad (old one in kinda rough shape)
Various mitts and microfibers
Oh, yeah, and Scrubbing Bubbles, of course.
I did one sled at a time. I hit the footboards and chassis with DG 821, and then rinsed the entire sled first. Then bucket washed with the Meg's Soft Gel and microfiber mitt. I don't know anything about this soap, but was a gift, and it's Megs, so that'll work fine. Then rinsed again, and blow dry with leaf blower (all day plane crash trying to hand dry all the crannies and stuff by hand).
Befores, dull and lifeless:
Then it was time to actually clean the plastic. For this, => Scrubbing Bubbles. This stuff is fantastic on textured plastic and vinyl surfaces. Spray a panel, then work the 'bubbles with an old orange Griot's pad. Then rinse. Unbelievable how much more came out from that extra step. Fresh snow may be white, but I trailer uncovered, so I get a lot of crapola enroute each way. Finally, an overall rinse and blow dry with a leave blower.
After that, I hit the shiny plastic with some Meg's Plastx. I included a 50/50 shot of the 800s hood during this process.
