This is THE BEST WAY to shine faded plastic. - Honda Foreman Forums : Rubicon, Rincon, Rancher and Recon Forum

This is dry, it lasts (on my 300 ) for over 3 years now. And everytime I post this on a sight no one will try it. I take my used machines, wet sand the plastics with a fine grain sandpaper, wash it and let dry and then spray the palstic with clear coat gloss spray paint. It is clear. It dries glossy and wet looking. I have put over 1000 miles in the mountains of East Ky on one machine since applying it and despite someone always telling me it wont last, it has NOT worn off. It is after 3 years showing a LITTLE fading in areas but nothing too bad. At least try it in a small inconspicious area first if you doubt but it works.

Sorry but I'm not that particular about the quad - it's an outdoor offroad vehicle that gets dirty that I'm not going to put much work into protecting plastic. I'm more concerned about mechanical maintenance than it's appearance although I do keep it clean and covered.

The real question is how well it will stick to the assundry of different fasteners that are keeping the plastics together?

We need to see a picture of the result so we can judge it. Also, give the brand of the product fo those who may want to go this way. Usefull info ! Lapprentis
