Oh, well i kinda forget what i did with mine... Ohh actually... I used my plastic welder to rehear all the plastic to reset the pigments, it was really just a heat gun.. Alot hotter than a hair dryer. Then i did my brake fluid treatment. You put brake fluid on a rag, the inside side of an old sweatshirt works great. You just put like a quarter sized dot and wipe over all the plastics.. It looks great then but heres a thing about it... Leave it in the sun til its not shiney then put more on it.. wait til shines gone, put more on. Its really only good for shows and stuff. It wears off after a while. I just wanted the quad to look its best before it left.. Good luck painting it after that. Dirt sticks to it like glue. It leaves a coating thats cool. But paint just isnt gona stick.
