Lowflyin Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 Using a heat gun on my bike ( blue plastic) actually dulled it but brought a more darker blue. I use it to get the white stress marks out Quote
NickisGod Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 he asked how to restore shine, not remove stress marks Quote
decon Posted April 1, 2012 Report Posted April 1, 2012 Recently I tried out the sanding/buffing combo, its pretty effective but wont be as shiny as brand new plastics. You have to sand from 220-1000 grit, 220 for deep scratches only, 400, 800, and wet sand with 1000. I don't recommend trying to buff the plastics by hand so your going to need a buffer, or a bit that attaches to a drill with a buffer pad on the end. You'll need a cutting compound, and a polishing compound. I didn't take any pictures after I finished, but it came out pretty good. In the end I just ended up scuffing my plastics back up and painted them. Quote
