does that stuff work? what do you have to do to make it work(like do you have to sand on it)? does anybody have some pics that they have used it on?

thanks

Just get you some Future floor wax or Mop-n-Glo and apply 2-3 thin coats with a sponge. Makes it shinier than new!!;)

my freind used it on his 400ex plastics, they turned out great and they looked like new. U have to wet sand with like 5 different grits then apply the solution that they give u, it is an all day job and maybe even 2 day. But it really does work if u do it right.

I found these guys (they paint plastic commecially for a living). they said they can paint my R plastic any color and have it look like new, and hold up very well. I am dropping it off to them in a couple of weeks..

HondaMan222... I wrote the review for it in the "review" section of this site. It will end up looking ok (kind of like you clear coated it) if you do it right. The downside is that it does not last very long (especialy if you use a power washer) and when it wears off you end up with worse looking plastic due to all the sanding.

I ended up buying new plastic.

plastic renew sucks. After I sanded a test area smooth, I couldn't get it to shine very well. They say to put 3-4 coats on and thats what I did. Waste of time and money, buy new plastic
