jamie stokes Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) hi there all you can really do is after you wash the bike and leave it to dry spray all the plastics with DW 40 it brings a shire to them .well there on your trailer all the way to a trial your bike looks like it has new plastics and looks good till you start riding then sadly you lose the shine also good if your selling a bike to do this to make it look good !

crazycooter Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 (edited) Once washed plastic's always lose their shine, no matter how new or old your bike is, but once I've washed mine and blasted it off with a air line I use Autoglym Vinal & Rubber care, this always brings them up new till I go out again.

barrybaines Posted January 5, 2007 Report Share Posted January 5, 2007 spray all the plastics with DW 40 it brings a shire to them . Jamie where can I get this DW 40 from? i`m well up for spraying my bike with the stuff if it brings me horses (especailly Shires), I`m sure I could sell said horses too the local Pikeys for a couple of quid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
