    Actually here is the beauty of it. After about 3 washes ( if you wash by hand) the plastic will get a little shinier. Simply because a rag or sponge is in some form abrasive. Like wet sanding with like 5000 grit. If you are really picky about your plastic I would say wax like once every 3 months by hand. No need to use a buffer because you would just be waxing to break the oxidation from being in sunlight and throwing mud all over it.

    Thanks for all the comments and sticky requests guys !

    Here is my final pic of the bike after i took the buffer and wax to it and washed it. I'm actually surprised it came out this shiny. Oh and my angry eyes are on too,lol. Enjoy.
