Whats up 97? Been awhile. And yeah scotch bright and oil is a shure clean. The WD gets pricey so moter oil works just as well. And on the aluminum frame BRASSO will take out Real bad boot marks as well.

hey woodz. how the hell are ya? ya its been a while. ya that oil sure does clean the bike! my freind also suggested to me that i spray PAM under my fenders when i ride to help knock the dirt off but iv figured out that a quick punch to the fenders takes off a lot of it also.

well i really have been frusterated with my blue plastics anyhow so i just beat the crap out of them. haha they dont turn white but i know exactly what you are talking about. they are terribly scratched and not even plastic renew can fix them. the graphics are chipping off to. grrrr lol well i have been having difficulty getting on here so i finally got back on after i changed my password and some other stuff. i think i will be getting back on more often now.

Cool. The board is still slow as chit. Takes forever to get a page. But were still here.
And my 05 plastic would turn white with any hard hit or slight bend.

trust me i know how much that pisses you off when it does that! lol honda red and yamaha blue are the worst at it. i get so frusterated with it that i just leave the bike dirty becuase the plastic is such a pain to deal with. oh and black is terrible for wear.

Simple green rocks. I heard that useing a heat gun on the plastics will help get rid of the white crease marks.

Simple green is great on car engins as well. As you cant power wash a LT1 due to its opti spark system.

i dont know if i would use any heat on my plastics. that could end up in costing you a couple hundred bucks if done wrong. the problem i see is that if you are heating the plastic to remove scratches them you are also deforming the plastic. that could look really bad.
