How to renew plastics
Permalink  
 

Hi, wanted to ask, how could I renew my DTs plastics? Tank plastics are white (all faded), I add you a pic. (It's the better looking side, another is much more faded)
Thanks for replies

I can't make that pic out very well but if any of the white marks are from the plastics being bent you wont get rid of them. Sun damage can be fixed, or at least made better, by using toothpaste like a polish or you can buy some swag called plastX made for the job.

They're sun faded. I bought Mipa Polisher (2nd item in pic)

Will try my best to renew my plastics. If someone be interested, will post Before-After pics in here.

Dont think that will work tbh mate....i would say get you'r self down to local Yammy dealer and get a brand new set!

They will be around £30 a side and then like £10 a side for sticker's (expensive i know because it is from Yammy but worth it)

I don't expect them to look like new. But I will never pay such money for a piece of plastic.

Ive heard rumours of peanut butter restoring "shineyness" to plastics, tried it on car bumpers before (older car with non colour coded bumpers) and they came out good!
