Has anyone tried this "Blue Rouge" a jewlers rouge for polishing plastic? I am ordering some of this and I'm going to give it a try,this should make polishing ATV fenders much easier on the last step of buffing. This is especially intended for the red fenders such as the 85 ATC350X passion red. I was told this will make them look like glass and will remove imperfections or light swirls. The white is much easier to polsh than the red because any inperfections will not show , Here is the rouge ----> http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190347639908&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT

I will share with you my experience using the mothers aluminum polish on the tanks, and that was that while it did do a great job on the final polish, any deep scratches or gouges that were there, trapped the white polish and it made the tank REALLY ugly in those parts. I tried washing out with cleaners and tooth brushes, but never could get it all out. Maybe that stuff wont work in the same manner, but a red tank with little blue lines around on it might not be real attractive. Just test it on some old plastics first.

I can polish plastic to near perfection and is good enough I think. I am just tring to get a peeerrrrfect finish to NEW. This thread I posted a while back actually works very well if you do it like I did.

I just did my tank, I started with 320 wet sand and worked my way down to 1500 wet sand. Then I used some brown roush? That I got in a polishing kit. The brown was intended for plastic. It worked awesome, and my tank took me about 2 hours. I'll post a pic later.

But roush on a polishing wheel works great!
