    After this my friend. You can def handle that tank !!! Again,I've never polished plastic. But,on all my new/excellent shape stuff. I use Plexus. It aint cheap. But it leaves a 100% Non static force field on new/perfect plastic. Smells great too ! It was designed for the canopy of fighter jets.

    UPDATE:

    I did a whole other round of polishing on that side and the bottom half. It get's better and better.

    So how long does it take?

    There is about 20+ hours of work on just that one side alone:

    VERY rewarding labor of love. Beautiful work. Have you built a "jig" or something to solidly hold your fenders in place while working? . That's a biggy to keeping things moving along solidly.

    Here are some updates....on the 85. This is a decent restore....not a full blown one but an 8.5 out of 10.

    The fenders look good:

    I did my white 350X too...works about the same. White is easier in some respects!! It hides any spots that are not completely buffed out. The red plastic will look pinkish...to get the deep red back it needs a ton of buffing.

    The white is way easier to make look good.... (IMO)

    Good job on the polishing, it is a lot of work but the only way to get them to shine.

    Still my white is not as good as yours, honda200x1987

    I'd like to try the synthetic wool with nothing on it and just let it glide over. Great work man!!
