to make them better you can use some plastic renew or something like that but it is tough since you then have to make sure you always polish them up. some will say heat also this could maybe work but i havent tried it.

otherwise you can use something like armor all.

i havent used any of these methods. i use poly protectant when i do my fenders but they arent cut up or anything. good luck, the plastic renew stuff takes awhile but if you take your time you will have great results. i have seen a few machines that it was used on and it looks great. you could almost make your own kit with all of the required sand papers but the liquid is different. steve

ok, my plastics are really beat up and a bunch of problems with cracking. might just look into getting new ones in the spring.
