My old Yahama Big Bear has faded over the years and looking to bring back some of the shine like it was new or at least better. I see some kit's online that are supposed to work but just not sure. Any suggestions ?

Big Ben believe this or not or it may not be anywhere close to answering your question but i saw a camo Rhino the other day at a car wash. I was interested because the front clip was camo and the rear was was just green. Walked over and was talking to the kid. I thought he had wrecked it. Turns out he just wanted to camo it. Said he ordered a tape kit out of Calif somewhere that was guarenteed not to peel or chip. It really looked good. I asked him why he didn't do the back and he said he was going to when he got the extra money. Asked what it cost and he said he had 60 bucks plus shipping in the front end. I paid 400 for my 4 pieces of plastic camo and thought i got a good deal.

Don't paint it whatever you do. LOL I tried that with some of the plastic paint and it looked like crap
Saw a product called wipe new and been wanting to try it. Sounds like it would work good for what your wanting to do.

I never had one clean enough to tell except for the day I brought it home,now that being said there is a product called plastic renew, I believe is the name. My buddy used it on his and it done an excellent job. I did spray mine off if we were going to be in a lot of mud and spray it with wax at the car wash,it just helped to keep the mud from sticking as bad.
