Protecting my new fullbores.

[Metzroth]

I am looking for any input on how to keep my new fullbores looking like new for a long time. Is there anything I can use to protect them? Wax, polishes, etc? Let me know! Thanks!

As far as i know there really isnt much to do, just stay out of the brush and rock...

go have fun. forget scratching them or park it.

never said I was afraid to scratch it, hence the bent steering stem from rolling it and the cracked and rewelded subframe from jumping down a hill. I am simply looking to keep the plastics I just paid over 500 dollars for looking like new as long as possible. The overlay sounds like it would be a good idea for someone who was REALLY worried about them, but I was just thinking something simple like a coat of wax. I thought I had heard of people using mop n glo and a few other things. can anyone confirm this?

pledge will shine themback up but the main thing are going to be scraths.. from what I see most of them come from trees ( can not do much about ) and for me 90% are boots marking stuff up... I have started to ride in the freestyle type pants that go over the boot and protect the plastic seems to work really well for me

[Metzroth]

alright, thanks for the help guys.

I've had good luck with tire foam. I use my 4x4 at the race track on the weekend but then kick the crap out of it during the week. To make it look like new i pressure wash it, let it dry, then spray tire foam on the whole thing. Thats what the dealer ship does on used quads.

don't ride

And here I thought I was the only guy who did that.

Pledge, Armor all, and Turtle Wax work great
BUT i do have to agree on the whole tire foam thing does make em shine like a crazy:macho

i remember seeing a post on another forum about a clear film that is real think like 1/32 or 1/16 that you can put over the plastics to protect.

I just pressure wash after the ride then use tire shine. The pressure washer gets the dirt out of scratches and the tire foam does a good job of hiding the rest.

awesome, well if i ever get the rest of my fullbore set, I will probably just try to keep them clean and maybe try the tire foam idea. The guy I bought the plastics from ended up not having the rears in stock and tried to screw me out of my money by not sending me a refund. So, unlucky for him he had already refunded me for the fronts but never paid me the shipping cost to have them sent back and I disputed the charge on the rears through my credit card company and got my money back. So now I have to wait 30 days for him to challenge the dispute and if he doesn't then I have a free set of silver fullbore fronts. Just got to come up with the rears now.

A product called Plexus works awesome for buffing out small scratches and shining'em up. Mothers also makes a plastic wax. Might be able to lay down a coat of wax on'em while their still new.
