Guest The Mad Jock Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 Thanks for replies, considering I started the thread I still haven't got round to trying to clean the plastic bit! Seems I'm not the only one narked about how it looks though. Link to post
Guest fresh air Posted May 3, 2013 Share Posted May 3, 2013 I have used my wifes "astonish" kitchen cleaner with a green scouring pad, which seems to work a treat. Got the astonish from the local £1 shop. It is mildly abrasive but does not damage the plastic. My next plan if this stops getting it clean is to stop caring and just ride the damn thing Don't forget the Marigold gloves. Link to post

Guest SloMo Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Hi Cleaned mine with ACF50 on a cloth - came up a treat. Added bonus that it is also then protected from future crap. Re-apply (on a cloth) after each wash as it is a high impact area. Link to post
deecat 318 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) I have just cleaned mine with some industrial Hand cleaner ,the type that has a gritty feel and it has come up like new. I applied it with a sponge . Edited May 14, 2013 by deecat Link to post
tc3 1,095 Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Someone over on the US site has done all his panels in matt black Plasti-dip. The cans are only $6 out at the Home Depot stores so I will be picking up a few on my trip next month Link to post
Guest chickenflaps Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Tony, which product is that one, coz actual Plasti-Dip (original product) spray tins were now around £22-25? Well they were on my very brief search yesterday. Gunmetal sounds pretty good I must admit.... Here's a Harley heavy metal chrome rear light which I sprayed with plasti-dip. The chrome underneath is protected from the elements. nice table... Link to post

roddy 845 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Was wondering what everyone does in terms of cleaning their pride and joy? Do you use a pressure washer? Any fancy expensive cleaning products? Is there a step by step process that you follow? I generally hose it down spray some diluted muck off , then rinse it off , and polish with a bit of Mr sheen, seems to keep mine quite clean especially during the horrible winter months Link to post
ScaredyCat 1,659 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Someone over on the US site has done all his panels in matt black Plasti-dip. The cans are only $6 out at the Home Depot stores so I will be picking up a few on my trip next month Plastidip is no good on areas of high abrasion, it'll just start to peal off and areas that you rub (steady now). Luckily for you it's dirt cheap, so respraying isn't too costly, but here in the UK it's rather expensive. I've now resorted to using it as liquid masking tape instead. Link to post
Guest Todd L. Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Plastidip is also no good if gas hits it. It will instantly peel off! I saw someone brag about how good their gas tank looked until they filled it up at a gas station and he spilled a little. It just dissolved right off and I felt really bad for the guy. Link to post
