I noticed that my side panels turn an ugly shade of puke pink, and they are fairly new. I checked out the You-tube gents to look for a remedy but I wasn't down with burning my plastic with a hot hair dryer and sanding and scraping with an exacto. I tried all the bull crap but I came up with an idear. Try some marine boat hull polish, and just keep working it in, its meant to help out fading fiber glass and it actually works a "little bit" on ufo plastic. It takes a few applications, but it may eventually work.

That would be great. I have some unobtanium 90s flow red Gas Gas plastic that I would like to see if I could save. Thanks.

I asked someone who vapor hones about plastic and he said he had done it with success with right medium (which I cannot recall), and then finish.

I refreshed my 88 Cagiva white tank that way and planned on that being the first step. It's the white bend marks that I'm concerned won't come out without some heat. Unsure

Quickly hitting it with a torch does a wonderful job. I recommend filling the gas tank with water first.

White tank? Life is a Bleach try some. Try a soft algee brush used for the pool.
