Does anyone have any tricks to make their plastic look like new after it has been scuffed? I have been polishing the frame, so it looks cool, but the black plastic looks like ****!

that plastic renew stuff works pretty good. you'd have to be real patient with black though. saw it on red and white and they looked almost new. i've seen it at some dealerships or chaparral, dennis kirk, etc. has it.

Jaybr, are you padding your posts or what? You have gone up an awful lot since you passed 1000

Nope, I've been in the #1 spot for awhile. Ryan, Derno, and Haydug all past 1000 last month, I've been over 1000 for awhile.

Now if someone catches up to me I may start padding :eek:
