Simple green is good, But this is plastic so you can get aggessive with it. Do you have stickers on them?

I find brake and clutch clearer works awesome!! Removes all dirt and oil. But I was just suggesting the 'enviromentally friendly' option first!![]()

92 is right, Pull your plastic And Hit them with carb cleaner then put right into hot soapy water with dish soap. And wash good. Rinse well and dry . then hit them with turtel wax F21 cleaner wax. Buff out good.
If that don't work clean good with soap and water. Then just add decals.

hahahaha. i find that gas takes off anything. so does carb cleaner. and so does a good catalyst. a dremel with the buffing bit works wicked good for just about anything. scotch brites and simple green also works. why is there so many ways to clean things? ~pat
PEACE GUYS ITS BEEN A BLAST!!!!! ~patrick

seems like its stained and probably scratched. i have all white plastics. older plastics. and they are full of small barely visable scratches that get filled with dirt and grease and make the plastics look nasty. i've researched some ways to fill in he scratches but nothing seems to work. ~pat

Scrathes will always be there but the F21 keeps it looking shiney and white.
