Miss that "new atv look"

My atv is a 2011, but it already looks kinda dull, from all the mud, and junk I guess...trees whipping it, etc, I wash it real good, but it still doesnt have that nice glow it used to have...

any suggestions out there to get that look back, without going to buy a new one..lol,

maybe something i could apply, or a certain product that i could wash it with?

any ideas????

I have a 2011 as well with about 3000km on it. I just use aromar all shine lustre on all the black plastics. I use Mequires NXT Teck Wax 2.0 automotive wax on the coloured plastics. Takes a couple of coats and comes up pretty good. The more the better. Buy it at Can Tire. Great for the finish on your vehicles also. TIP.

Howdy Canadianatver........Is your ATV painted plastic or plastic only? I have a 2007 X2 camo plastic and I use STP Son of a Gun to bring on the shine and mitigate the scratches. Still looks new. Don't know about the painted plastic...........

Just Like New Again

Canadianatver, I use this spray on stuff called SC1 and it really makes your atv shine just like new again. It can be kind-of costly though cause it is 10$ a can.

Hi there NoJoke, My machine is just plastic. Comes up pretty good. Who makes the product you mentioned and is it available in most automotive deptartments of the big box stores? Just wondering where it would be found in Canada. I would be willing to try it. Thanks. TIP.

POPO850, $10 is not too bad. The Maquires I use is about $20 but I use it for my car and truck. Lasts a long time and is easy to work with. TIP.

The can runs out pretty fast and it was verry hard to find at local stores. Online costs have shipping and tax and stuff.

It's made by STP and I get mine at my local ACE hardware and I've seen it at at Wal Mart.......
