Treating Plastics

[MKE.rob]

Hey all,

What do people recommend for treating plastics? I don’t want to use the word “restore” because my plastics are in good shape. But they do have some scuffs and lost a bit of shine, wondering if anyone recommends a specific wax or applicator to make them shine and hide/fix some small scratches and scuffs.

Maxima makes a spray . Comes in a black can that says "New bike in a can". Works well if your plastics are in good shape. Might be the SC1 in the post above.

For plastics that are a bit less than good , "Plastic renew" works good but make sure you apply it in one direction or it will look like crap.

For good plastics, Plexus.

It'll make small scratches disappear and the plastic very slick and dry (not greasy).

Yeah, Plexus is great. Expensive though.

Yep. Pretty much why I only use it on my helmet visors anymore, though I've been using it for more than a decade.

On my riders with meh plastics, I go full cheepo and use dollar store furniture polish (in the spray can), just to keep mud from sticking as much. That's about the cheapest thing out there and people have been using Pledge furniture polish for years on ATV and dirt bikes, mainly to wash the mud off easier after riding. It does a decent job shining them up too.

I like to use 303 Aerospace.
