Man, I appreciate your no BS attitude towards what you do, say and show. Well done.

I appreciate your craftsmanship in restoration.

Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! We truly appreciate it! 🙏 I love your accent! Rock on 😎 cool! We live in California! Take care amigo!

I’m really impressed ….you’re the best for sure!

One of the best I've seen thus far on this topic. Very useful info and video. Thanks for the post

I know it’s an old video but man! Great block of instructions, thank you so much!

No BS just show and tell, appreciated. I've polished some wheels with that mothers and yeah it is good stuff.

Thanks for sharing this. I'm working on a couple IT 465 With faded plastic.

I've been working with plastic since 2011. This information is legit. I use a aluminium polish (amongst a whole host of different things in my trick bag..) I can't think of anything more to add, than well done. Plastic seems to behave the same way in Australia. (If you take your time, you'll be amazed.... a non professional can learn this. I was 44, and had never worked in a trade before.)

If you think about it, the original shine on the plastic was the result of the heat that was in the original mold. To a degree, that's what you are emulating here. You have gotten the right balance of heat and polishing compound. I know many people will laugh , but people that are very good at this are nail techs. They really have some cool tools especially their emory boards that I love to use in metal work. It is amazing the shine they get in the work they do going slowly one grit at a time. (of course they are talking the whole time HaHa) This is "Thee" ultimate video in restoring plastic. Thanks

Exactly what I was looking for. Impressive

NICE!!! Perfect timing, need to fix some myself.Colorado Springs. Thanks GO NAVY!!!

Awesome video!! Thanks for the tip!

Excellent Video. I just watched, as I have two Suzuki Dirt bikes that have been in storage, like yours have some scratches. I thought to just replace, till I saw the cost. Tried your method & wow plastics look like new. Ordered new replacement decals & bikes look new. Thank You for you video. Rick

I just bought an xr650r. Somebody painted the plastic black so I'm getting ready to try and restore the tank. Wish me luck!

Awesome video thanks for sharing

Love your energy, dude ⚡

Great video !!! 💪🏽 I appreciate it

Great piece of work

Very nice...cant wait to do mine

Hello from Nh 👋 helped me restore a yellow 300ex the plastics were destroyed. Have to use 50 hear weld staples plastic weld, sand and your steps to achieve a restoration

I'm gonna do this .. not with a bike .. but with my plastic hood for my boat motor.. the sides and the hood .. I think it will work .. ... this is a good vid !

This works amazingly good videos brother thank you

Keep this kind of videos coming!

Awesome video!!

This makes more sense than the razor blade method that gives you tons of flat spots. The foam pad on the sander is a must to keep contours. He doesn't mention stating away from edges with the lower grit paper, but you should or you will get flat spots..

👌 best vids on youtube

Great fucking video. Straight to the point and detailed with great tips. Thanks for making this for us bro.

Great video. Doing it your way next. I made a sawhorse/tank holder out of a 2x4. The tank sits right on it and doesn’t move and with it being all wood I can screw it to certain work areas.

great video! Great accent too, Im in Nova Scotia, we have lots of good trails here and epic bush parties. Come for a visit

Well I have to credit you . I did a lot more sanding before and I’ll still do more after - but t buffing with mother’s and wool does a great intermediate cut

thats a Mcnasty A+ quality nice job brother i found you threw Kaplan Cycles im out in Leominster Ma i got a cr 125 couple 250 honda quads and a honda trx 70 im rehabbing for my baby girl thanks for the awesome tips i love that mothers mags polish i was guessing that was your seccret weapon nice job brother !

I read on a form you should use a foam pad that it won’t burn the plastics, no matter how hard you try after watching this I’m gonna forget with that other guy said thank you for this good video!

Thank you

BADASS!!! Going to polish up my brand new/used KLX300SM 2023. Some road rash one side. Going to remove all stickers…?

Impressive

I'm guessing the seat is probably unobtainium....would have taped that off in case ya slipped. Great vid!

Mag polish got it . I’ve wet sanded my tank and tomorrow I polish.

How would you go about repairing a crack on a plastic gas tank

Random orbital or rotary?

Mothers is used on plastic car headlights also.

What would you charge if I had you detail a Honda Z50?

Looks fantastic! I'm about to work on a 1987 rm 125 tank. 1st timer . Can I use a electric drill? I don't have a big enough air compressor.

Hello, I bought a new custom decal kit for my ATV. I have hand sanded the rear fenders using 320, 500, 1200. The fenders are black, but are currently grayish after the sanding. I have a harbor freight buffer with 2 types of foam pads. Should I try to buff the fenders so they are back to black? Or should I just put the decal kit on? The kit does cover most of the fender but not 100% of it.

I've seen people use a heat gun after sanding then polish. Is that not a good method?

WOW !!!!!!!

Hello my friend I have a old xr 100… How long does that polish last? Big hugs

Could actually see your reflection if you look close, hell of a job

Will this work on a white gas tank that is yellowing?Definitely best information I've seen on the subject

One thing he keeps saying here = do not let plastic get hot and melt. =Be patient and take your time. Let the plastic cool down. Slow speed, low pressure = less heat.

It's good

Thanks for the great videos. I see some guys finishing the process with a heat gun instead of the polish. Obviously you way works. What are your feelings about a heat gun to finish it?

Will this work on really old rough and faded plastics

What tool are you using, and what polishing wheel? Just purchased a orbital polisher and it does almost nothing. Bosch makes a variable speed angle grinder that seems like a good tool? If so, where do I find the right polishing wheel?

I am doing something similar but when I go to polish I can’t get it to be very mirrored like yours looks... mine becomes very foggy almost. Is it because my drill doesn’t go fast enough?

What is that wool wheel you used to polish with and where can I buy one? Thanks

Great job!! How long before this method dulls off?

Yea i wouldve sanded it to 2000-2500.......Thats how i restore headlights & they come out immaculate

Is it same results for white plastics and tank

How about on old white tanks that have yellowed ?

Nice .dude. you McNasty Lol.

Might take the seat off

i can still see a million scratches

Worst thing that happened to all vehicals is dumb people attempting to do anything to em. Why would anyone thing a bunch of deep gouges look better than a porked decal. No neither look good but I'll take a hashed decal over a gauled surface any day. My 66 raptor plastic is looking bit tired it's not cracked or seriously damaged but has scratches non fated areas from where decals were and a bunch of white lines from bending. But I spot checked the heat thing seemed to get rid of bout 80% of the white. I'm hoping when weather warms up to sand, heat, polish, remove old decals with a jagged rock or by kicking across the floor till there gone ect to make it look nice again and slap some brandie new decals on it should look as nice as it actually is.

You didn't even bother to take out the huge scratches on that tank for goodness sakes.

a torch lighter wouldve done it without any of this

Attention hacks. Don't waste perfecty good graphics on scratched garbage. Plastic scratches let in dirt and water making them peel within weeks. JLike shortcuts? Just light your money on fire

Like his videos.. just slow down, brother. we here to learn the slower ya go, and the more info you give us, the more we can learn....?? We'd rather watch longer and learn more than watch less and learn less.. ??? 👍👍

Tha front fendah. This is a ridah. It's a Hoanda 250 ahh
