Real simple , What is the best compound to get your plastics looking good again ? ? ?
I have white plastics and some spots aren't so white anymore, like the tank.
Any input would be great , Thanks guys

I used a cloth wheel with red rouge on my plastics to make them look new again. My plastics are red but I have seen it used on white before.

OK. Where can i get this at ? I picked up some plasticX polish and it did not help at all.

PlasticX Polish is used to clean the plastic prior to polishing/ You can try the 'red rouge' but that did not work for me. ATV plastic is very soft and difficult to polish , you need to take the correct steps to aquire a like new finsh. NOTE: YOU need NOT use any compounds in buffing plastics but you can try swirlX for the last step . All you really need is wet sanding and a synthetic wool buffer but it takes many hours to pull it off.
