transition face sheilds?

[JRC]

For a very quick cleanup, an old trick is to use Pledge or Behold. Lots of people that do parade or formation rides keep a small can handy. It doesn't have the body and staying power of a paste wax, but it's fast.

I tried some of that spray stuff and the plastic got all funny looking a couple days later after morning dew/rain hit it. Not sure if it was "Pledge" or not however. Used some "Mothers" clear plastic polish and that worked pretty well, but again back to the faded look in a few days. Armour-All basic stuff did'nt do well either, not did the "303 Aerospace Protectant" that I tried it was pretty much Armour-All. I mostly just want to protect the plastic from the sun, but a little shine/color looks nice too. Compliments the scratches and dents.

for me a combination of Plexus ( kind of expensive ) and Favor High Shine works like I bought the old Goat yesterday , as far as the demerits mentionned earlier you know what they say : " Keep it clean , Joe , keep it clean " Dooden wrote:I tried some of that spray stuff and the plastic got all funny looking a couple days later after morning dew/rain hit it.

Ditto... others comment on how shiny my A15 is.

----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Peplinski Try "Pledge" or any other furniture polish. It works great on just about any plastic and as far as I can tell does no damage to the plastic. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hey Rick, I had good results shining up the slightly oxidized finish on the plastic fenders by using Meguiar's Heavy Duty Vinyl Cleaner #39 (paint-shop safe (paintable)) followed with Meguiar's Vinyl & rubber cleaner /conditioner #40. For waxing the tank I use regular old Turtle Wax. Conall

[Rick McCauley]

Yeah, I use turtle wax on the tank too. Sure got a lot of good suggestions for taking care of the plastic. Never heard of Meguiar's. Is it readily available ?(like Auto Zone) I may try the Pledge too. I know where the wife keeps it. Rick A17 Conall wrote:

Some of the more specialized Meguiar's products are harder to find than the car waxes they sell, which I've seen at Autozone and even WalMart. I got the vinyl cleaner when I was in CA. at Tap Plastics, but a quick search at their website didn't find it. Meguiars is here though... http://tinyurl.com/ahdsm Hope this helps, Conall

S100 something-or-other (can't find the can, sorry) in a small, expensive can does a nice job of taking away the sun faded look on my A11. __Arden --- In DSN_KLR650@yahoogroups.com, Rick McCauley wrote:

I too paid an "assload" for the transition lenses at LensCrafters, but with a face sheild, there's no prescription involved. Just need the damned thing to get dark when the sun gets bright. Doesn't seem like too much to ask. Course I am also puzzled as to how gas prices can jump $.25 overnight but they never seem to drop the same amount within the same amount of time... Typical American consumer..... ass in the air & head in the sand... wallet, at least, compromised somewhere in between.
