Look what ive done with my ytm200 rear fender
My only regret is the sandpaper 40 grit it let some scratches but maybe scratch doctor will do the thing

Looks like you cleaned it up good. I know how nasty those yellow YTM fenders can get.
heard acetone does a great job

This is harder then it looks!! I did 1/2 of my rear fender, but only about 1/2 of it came out nice. I will have to do it over. How many times do most of you have to repeat the process for it to come out right?
can this same method be used for a sun faded kx gas tank???
I will be posting on how to polish ATC/ATV plastic in the coming weeks. I am working on perfecting it and you will see it can be done. My method will take your fenders/plastic tanks to the original factory shine,peeeerrrrfffffeeect. They will look like glass but the method will take hours to complete, that's the only drawback. HERE are a few pictures of some fenders I have done, they look very nice,not perfect but very very close. White fenders are much easier because any imperfections will not show up as easy. I am working on the last step, I am going to use a "ROUGE".. a ROUGE is a compound used by jewlers.
thats what im talkin about, very nice work cant wait to see more..
Hey dude i am working on a YTM200 project right now and i was wondering how you filled the holes that were there for the racks right behind the seat, and nice work on the fenders mine look like your befores at the moment but i will get around to restoring them

Please sent me a message
Thanks, Riley
Has anyone tried using an electric sander? will it work? I am not for spending countless hours of manual labor on restoring my plastics (mainly because I dont have countless hours available to use)

I have figured out that you can use a dual action on the 220 grit part, which is by far the most important, but you absolutley have to do the rest by hand. The 220 takes the longest just because of the big scratches and divots that might be in the plastic, and if you dont get them out, you will know when you get into the finer grits.
Hell yeah dude, every since i found this thread ive tried it on every machine in my shed, dont matter what the color, year, or model is, it works on any plastic, even gas tanks
