    Stained Plastic--HELP!!

    Just had a question for everyone out there. I am new at this thing so I hope I do it right. I own a yellow 01 400ex and ride mainly in a wooded area. After washing my 400 the last couple of times I have noticed stains on the front nose of the quad. They appear to me like some kind of dye from the plants in the area. They are a rustic-looking color and they will NOT come out. I haven't tried too many things for fear of really scratching the plastic. I know this is only cosemetic so it is not that big of a deal, but I would REALLY appreciate anyones input on this one. Thanks alot!!

    I'd use some mean green and get a lot of soap and water and scrub it. Then armor all it up or use mop n glow to shine it.

    I have never really heard of mean green....where can I get that at?? Also, what would I use to scrub the plastic with....I tried using just an old clean t-shirt...but I scrubbed long enough without results that it was like I used sand paper. Thanks

    Yeah...acutally I have access to one but it was to no avail. I may try that Mean Green cleaner and see if that works. I am not sure where to find it though, also if anyone else has any suggestions I would REALLY appreciate them. Thanks.

    When my bike gets scratches and dirt gets in there I take my mom's all porpous bleach cleaner and it's like that bleach for colors it works really good just don't let it sit there for more than 3-5 mins.
