Plastic Renew
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.

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.
