Cleaning white plastics

[redneck2725]

Well, my Predator has some mud stains on the plastic, and wanted to see what everyone on here suggests. I have read using everything from MR Clean Magic Erasers, soft scrub, Wesley Bleach White, etc. I have seen pros and cons about each. What do you guys think???

Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works wonders, but it will take the shine out of them. But IMO, the dull looking plastic actually looks good. Other than that, a soapy SOS pad dipped in Simple Green works very good, too.

White wall tire cleaner works good.

I soak mine with simple green for about 5 mins and without hoseing it off I wash it down with regular soap and water. comes out like brand new

I just did a buddies blaster plastic. He bought some white rear fenders from out local atv scrap yard. They had what looked like mildew all over them. I scrubed with a sos pad and mothers mag and aluminum polish on them. The mag and aluminum polish works wonders on white plastic as it has just the right amount of abrasiveness to it. I also used it to take the black boot marks off his old white rear plastic. I personally would have just thrown these plastics in the garbage, but when i was done with them they looked like they were brand new.

I used to use a toothbrush with a tad bit of gasoline to get the deep dirt out. Believe it or not there was no damage as long as you wash that area good with soap and water after

I use wesley's and a soft bristle brush . spray it on dry then brush left right up down diag. basicly every way to get bristles in there ( when doing this spay wesley's during middle of process ) then hose off. taa daa!

a little water and some comet works perfect

Doesn't the sos pad create swirl marks?

[Scro]

No, the SOS pads aren't that abrasive.

i power wash mine then wipe them down with lacquer thinner and a paper towel to get out the stains if you have deep scratches you can sand them out with 400 grit then 600 then 1500 and polish with mag wheel polish i recomend once you do this to cover the areas that get most wear and tear (like where your boots rub) with a thick clear 3M adhesive sticker (found at most motorcycle shops).
