I learned how to

lol

polish will dry up and start to flake the plastics and turn them white with time, Best thing to do to keep the plastics looking nice is after riding wash the bike or bikes and keep them out of the sun and rain, but the bad thing for me is both mine and my dads bikes have the plastics and seats look very bad becuz of the old owners keeping the bikes in the sun and rain the whole year.
