i put my original white rear fenders back on tonight ( my bmx bike fell out of the rafters in the garage and broke the ones i painted black)

anyways my white rears are stained.. not mud stains.. im not sure what it is but they were this way when i got it.. i have tryed a red scotch bright pad by its self, with orange degreeser, and laquier thinniner and nothing will get the stains out... any ideas???

I've also heard Comet works. I've also heard sitting them outside will sun bleach them clean.

i spray my fenders with silicone before riding to keep this from happening.

Ive never had any white plastic to test it on myself, but Ive heard it a few times. Comet comes in a dark green can

yeah i know what comet is.. just never herd of it working to clean fenders... i even tryed miquires plast x cleaner... hell if the laquer thinner and scotch pad didnt clean them i doubt comet will...

if i could get them to come clean i would use race glaze on them to keep them front picking up anything that could stain them. the laquier thinner got the mud stains out just not the un known black stains so i know its not from paint or oil/ grease

some good ole sanding will make them clean.start with course grit and work your way up to 1200 rit.

Have you tried bleach? I know on badly stained white fenders a member on here put mostly bleach and a little water into a weed sprayer (After it had been thoroughly rinsed out) and sprayed the combo on his fenders and tank on a bw200 and he said it whitened them considerably.

soft scrub with bleach. Doesn't scratch and cleans well.

Clavamox is stable in the presence of gastric acid and is not significantly influenced by gastric or intestinal contents. The 2 components are rapidly absorbed resulting in amoxicillin and clavulanic acid concentrations in clavamox dosage dog (http://clavamox.agilityhoster.com/items/clavamox-dosage-dog.html), urine, and tissues similar to those produced when each is administered alone. Amoxicillin and clavulanic acid diffuse readily into most body tissues and fluids with the exception of brain and spinal fluid, which amoxicillin penetrates adequately when meninges are inflamed. Most of the amoxicillin is clavamox canine (http://clavamox.agilityhoster.com/items/clavamox-canine.html) excreted unchanged in the urine. Clavulanic acid’s penetration into spinal fluid is unknown at this time. Approximately 15% of the administered dose of clavulanic acid is excreted in the urine within the first 6 hours. Clavamox combines the clavamox and storage (http://clavamox.agilityhoster.com/items/clavamox-and-storage.html) distinctive properties of a broad-spectrum antibiotic and a ?-lactamase inhibitor to effectively extend the antibacterial spectrum of amoxicillin to include ?-lactamaseproducing as well as non-?-lactamase-producing aerobic and anaerobic organisms. The susceptibility of these organisms has also been demonstrated in why give cats clavamox (http://clavamox.agilityhoster.com/items/why-give-cats-clavamox.html), vivo studies. Studies have demonstrated that both aerobic and anaerobic flora are isolated from gingival cultures of dogs with clinical evidence of peridontal disease. Both gram-positive and gram-negative aerobic and clavamox 62.5mg (http://clavamox.agilityhoster.com/items/clavamox-62.5mg.html), isolates indicate sensitivity to amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid during antimicrobial susceptibility testing.

I use this stuff to get out stains on a white fender. This works really well and takes out mud stains instantly. I use it to remove dirt stains underneath the fender and it completly romoved all of it. Great product! You can get it at any auto parts store..http://cgi.ebay.com/Meguiars-PlastX-Plastic-Cleaner-10-oz_W0QQitemZ370255031974QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_Defa ultDomain_0?hash=item5634eb6ea6

You may have to wet sand with 2000 grit sand paper then polish it up with a "RANDOM ORBITAL BUFFER" for a few hours. I can make a fender look brand new and super shiny.. here is a pcture of my work..This in the only way to make them new again.
