Yammer Dan Posted June 21, 2012 Share #1 Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) The 4-wheeler I bought a few weeks ago has some light scratches on it. A few of the worse ones you can feel with a fingernail but most are lighter. What can I buff these out with? I know the plastic is different from our bikes. This thing is in such great shape i would like to make it look like new. It is a Honda Ricon if that makes any difference. I know zilch about them. Question is what to use???

KIC Posted June 21, 2012 Share #2 Posted June 21, 2012 I'm sure some of 2nd Gens can tell you how they get the rock chips, from all the 1st Gens passing them, out of their plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FROG MAN Posted June 22, 2012 Share #5 Posted June 22, 2012 I always thought a 4 wheeler looked good with MUD on them? Never seen one buffed and looking shiny.:confused24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yammer Dan Posted June 22, 2012 Author Share #6 Posted June 22, 2012 This one looks as if it just rolled out of the show room. You have to get close to see the scratches. Maybe I'll get used to them and add a few... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redneck Posted June 22, 2012 Share #7 Posted June 22, 2012 Dan you can buff it with a high speed buffer and plastic polish. It is very easy to melt the plastic be careful, you can hand polish with plastic polish as well. If your going to use the four wheeler just get use to the scratches because there will be more.

OK Thats a good one!!!:rotfl: I have rode it a little around the house but not thrilled with it. Really don't have much of a place to ride here. Maybe if I can get it out somewhere there is room to play. Good arm workout on the ground I have here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good arm workout on the ground I have here.Dan if you can find a place to ride they are a lot of fun. I'm a Polaris man because they have the best suspension of any I have ridden. look around for state parks national parks forest roads logging roads ect. They will give you a great whole body workout if you can find some challenging trails to ride. I love to explore off the beaten path. Anything made by Honda is generally high quality and dependable have some fun with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Posted June 23, 2012 Share #14 Posted June 23, 2012 Now Dan...you aren't like Some people are you? You know! Some people get 4 x 4 Pickups, raise them up so you need a step ladder to get into them, put on bush guards, skid pans, monster tires, 2 ton power winch, and roll bars but the only time they are ever off road is when they park them on the front lawn to sell them! ATV's are meant to have fun on! To go places you can't go with a truck. Unless you are "some people"...they WILL get scratches....maybe even a few cracks in that shiny plastic....but you WILL have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
