Your plastics are black right??? Thats why, black shows more stracthes. WD40 will temporarly get the "dull" out, but when it dries up or gets washed off, it goes back to normal. Gets a good shine too.

well u will never get them all out unless u buy new.i used a tire gel for car tires.it works pretty good hidding the scratches.

the only way to truly achieve that factory shinie, is to buy new plastics. The plastic renew s**t is a waste of money. It will look good as long as you keep applying the shine crap, but all in all you have just scratched your plastics up more by sanding them. If you don't use the quad as a show quad, then don't worry about the scratches... its a quad, use it. Shiny plastics will not make it any faster or handle better...

I wonder, would using 220 grit then ending up with like 1500 grit wet sandpaper make it nice? Hmmm...
