well I am a very big fan of adams! if it was me I would use swril and haze then fine machine and if you want to go crazy with the shine i would then use super machine wax

Well I am not looking for shine really just to get as many scuffs out that I can. Also I am not a super cleaner IE no buffers all hands or what I can stick on a drill.

ok now i got all what you need! the swril and haze would be your best beat then! swirl and haze will get your scuffs off with no problem! you can use it by hand or a buffer! i am a hand guy and dont use a buffer! i just used swirl and haze on a case ih max 10 the other day and it got shoe marks off the fender! when you use it by hand you might have to rub alittle more but it works great

If you do somehow get ahold of a buffer, go VERY easy on the plastic. Stuff is super easy to mess up.

So pretty much just place it on the plastic very lightly? I'll see what I can get from AZ today

easy fix for atv plastics.
go and get some "MOP AND GLOW" floor wax. the white liquid in blue bottle. once the plastics are clean, pour it onto a paper towel or rag. apply it to the plastics in one direction, dont rub, let it dry.

more coats coats u apply, the more it will build up a shine.

I usually just hose mine down with some kind of foaming tire shine after i wash it, then wipe it all down and it looks pretty nice. Once a "scuff" is in plastic i don't know that you can really get it out. I'm going to give the mop and glow a try though.

This. :whs:

If the scuffs are something you can feel with your fingertip, then you're probably stuck with them. The deeper they are, of course, the less likely it is that you'll be able to polish them out. And to truly remove scuffs and scratches, you'll need to polish them, with an abrasive.
