I've been on the fence between a blue or white rear skid plate. I would prefer the look of the white but with all the staining my muffler side panel has already had from the exhaust I'm concerned it will look as bad or worse on a white skid plate which is why I'm also considering blue. Anyone else dealing with dingy looking side panels on the white/blue sleds?
On another note, anyone know a good way to clean them? It seems like they do get "cleaned" somewhat after playing around in deep snow but after riding on trails again it seems to get pretty yellow. Even the "cleaned" look after powder isn't nearly as white as it was when new.

I went blue and aside from liking the blue I also did it because I knew the white would get covered with exhaust. Looks good to me.

Mine is not turning black or brown yet. Only have about 230 miles on, but no sign of discoloration so far.


Mine is yellow on sides. I use BrakeClean and finally Magic Eraser. Just comes back again.
