Just though I would share my impressions of the product. The stuff worked great the plastic ended up looking like new; however, it was alot of work to get it looking nice. You have to sand the plastic down to get off the scratches, stains, and smoothen it out which leaves the plastic doll. The plastic renew makes it shinny again. I used an orbital sander with 220(I think) grit sand paper to get the big scratches out then went after it with 320 then 400 and finally 600 grit wet/dry paper all by hand over the sink. It took probably a good 5-6 hours to do the fenders, and side panels. It's a good project for a rainy saturday.

I would just like to second that. My friend that bought my '87 KDX200 a couple of years ago (before I bought it back) used it on the headlight shell. It made it look great. Along with a new sheet of white vinyl for the numberplate background, it really looked great!

I have heard others say that it won't last long on a fuel tank because your knees will rub it off.

Is it just like an oily coat to make it look shiny OR is it a buffing type compound to buff the plastic shiny again?

It's not oily at all. You apply a few coats buff it will fine steel wool and put on a few more coats. My hands where shiny for the rest of the day after using it! My dad and I were both really suprised at how good the plastic looked, he did his bike also.

I put a picture of the front fender after applying plastic renew if anyone is interested.

Well....... Post it, post it......

Here it is

OOOOOOOOOOOOO shiney. Looks great, virtually brand new. Have you tested it yet and how does it hold up to wear??? Cheers Trev

I've used Mop-n-Glow on my plastics since new. It takes all the wear and after a ride, I wash the bike and then freshen up the finish with another coat of the stuff. Seems to do the trick.

That is a pic taken after one short ride and a wash with a power washer it was really muddy that day. Sadly I haven't been able to ride much lately, darn college.

cool---i use Future acrylic, just because some was around the house

Used plastic renew 2 years ago. It did what they claimed and the price was goodHate to say it, but it only lasted maybe 5 ride and wash cycles and to me that was not enough after all the elbow grease (5+ hours) it took. Great for selling a bike though.
