I am getting a darker brown dirt like discoloration on my white plastic at the area my legs come down from the seat.

Normal pressure washing/scrubbing doesn't help so I was hoping to hear what you guys have done for this.

Not that I have tried very much yet, but if anybody has had success getting it whiter again let me know.

Id there a product that does the trick?

Thanks.

I use Super Clean (purple stuff), it takes all the dirt and oil right off.

I use superclean or greased Lightning to degrease with but won't they dull out the plastic? I have never used super clean on the plastic do you guys cut it with water? Or just spray it right off with water? I'm sure super clean would get them clean though it's strong stuff! FYI I was told not to get it on your chain if your running an o-ring chain espically greased lightning will eat the o-rings if not rinsed off!

simple green or Moose cleaner do the trick then spray it down with WD-40, so the dirt is easy to wash off next time...

Get some Silicon Spray and something to scrub if it's really dark, also Silicon spray protects you plastic alittle too. Also put some simple green in a spray bottle and use that.

Okay I will give everybody my secret solution!!!! It will get any discoloration of the plastics, at least in my experience!!! Im not sure how to spell it, but Mcquiers Scratch remover. Comes in a small tube and looks like wax. Use it like wax and sheeeshamm, purdy white plastic!!! Best thing to use and Ive used it all!!!!!!!!!!

Well for white stuff i've good luck with Multi-purpose Auto Cleaner from ARMOR ALL. I used that on our old white trailer and on my TRail Blazer, don't forget that you can use a really soft brissle scrubber to get out deep rub marks.

Hey Luckiduc13 are you talking about scratchx by Meguiars I used that on a black S2000 that I detailed the other day for my friend before we polished it and glazed it (for a car show) and wondered how it would work on plastic scratches on quads! I know it took 90%of the swirl marks out of a black car with an oscillator so I bet it would rock on scratched plastic! I'm going to get some and try it!
