a guy with a 300ex had them on his and he had pics of the after affect and it was terrible. he needed to put stickers in a bunch of places b/c of it.

his name is like sorge something

search for it, i looked through alot of info on it when i was redoing my 440ex, i decided against it. from what i understand its decent stuff but you have to do it right to have it come out ok. basically you just sand your fenders untill they are no more scratchs and you have to you very very fine sand paper to get it nice and smooth and then you just put on the clear. from what most people say its more work than its worth. just get a bottle of armorall and stand back about 10 feet when you look at it.

I used it on mine, I preped and sanded the front fenders but i didn't prep the rear fender i just applied it over the deep scratches and scuffs.

I think it turned out ok

Yea i used plastic renew on my white z-400 and it worked beautifully.... i did alot of sanding and went to like 350 grit wet sand paper and then applied like 10 coats witch was like half a bottle... and it looks like brand new no problems... dont get a serious de-greaser to close though it will eat it off

I used it on the plastics on my old 300ex. They were so faded they were pretty much pink. I spent about 3 hours of wet sanding on each fender (front and rear) And the plastic returned to a very nice deep shade of red like it should look like. The shine it had was very nice too. But to do it right you need to spend alot of time wet sanding and making it perfect. I tryed the plastic renew again on my 250r front plastics when I first got them, and it looked better than before, but overall wasn't no wheres near as nice as the 300 plastics turned out. The reason why they weren't as nice was because I didn't spend enough time sanding and making it perfect.
