    In the Trikesylvania section, go to 'World Class Help'...It will give you answers to most, if not all, of your questions. Also, go to the 'Google Custom Search' link and type what you want to do, or a related subject. You can find almost anything there. This link only searches article, posts and information found only on 3Wheelerworld. Here is a link by Billy GoLightly that involves plastic tank restoration...

    i own a detailing shop here in idaho the best thing ive found so far is meguirs reconditioning cream and dual action buffer. the reconditioning cream is designed for restoring moisture into old paint. i recently used it on a older honda motorcycle fender with great results.
    ive also used a heat gun and oil ( dont remember what kind ) as a expirement worked well

    This is what I have used with excellent success in the past.. Of course it's going to take time to remove a lot of the oxidized crap like Tecate fenders seem to built up really well but it's satisfying in the end.

    Just don't go out and try to ride a wheelie, only to have your throttle cable bind on you and send you off the back, breaking your OEM's into 3 pieces
