Does anyone know what can be used to make the unpainted black plastic on my rx look new again? Ive used a few diffrent things that look good at first but dont last. Thanks... :rocks:

I use black magic tire shine.Works great on atv plastic too. Gives it a shine though not sure if thats what you want. I get it at walmart. Black and red can.

Thats actually what ive been using, but i was hoping for something that lasts longer.....and your right it works awsome on the quads. I always put it on before i ride and the mud and dirt wash off easier....Thanks!!!
 
with out a doubt the best stuff you can buy!!! bar none!ive tried everything mentioned above and more. have a superduty and the mirrors and bed rail and bumper caps were looking like crud tried this. amazing looks like new. let it cook in the sun for a while and its even better removes wax marks off plastic as well. did my apexpanels, look like new. try it on the faded cloth on a boss seat makes it look new again. try this stuff its the stuff!!!

303 protective spray. use it on the boat, truck, suburban, bike and sleds. made to protect against water, sun and doesnt wear out. great for leather seats!
 
Pig Spit

Pig Spit works great, Even use on my Harley Black motor. Comes in a spray can, spray it on and just leave it.
 
For the black I use any 100% silicon product for plastics,rubber,vinyl. I think black magic (100%silicon) is what I'm using now. Just wipe off extra. I apply with a towel, not sprayed on piece.
Not to highjack, but along the same kinda care suggestions. Any Ideas for keeping the aluminum pieces sweet? Like spindles, engine, anything alum.
I have been cleaning my non-powder-coated spindles with WD-40(and tooth brush. lol) and dryn up once clean. I used some on the valve cover as well and still no corrosion there, but between cleanings the spindles start too. Seems the engine is installed with a coating of some sorts, idk.
I use mothers aluminum polish on my skid and tunnel sides under exhaust and back. I still get some pitting there(but its real shinny pitting). Just wax tunnel(no polish).
 
Try using a heat gun and gently heat plastics - be careful not to over heat. this will take out sun fade and stress marks - from there you should be able to use a bit of atf applied lightly and rubbed in well, then polish with dry cloth - have done this many times on cars,wetbike sleds etc- the heat causes oils in plastic to reflow
 
I used the "Back To Black" yesterday on all the black plastic on my Apex, and it really looks good, just like new again. Very happy with it. ;)!
