bleach then use that white shit women use in the kitchen for cleaning like a mr muscle product

[oldfart]

Nappy san ...... very strong bleach . Also brillant in reviving timber decks ( removes mould )

[Rossvickicampbell]

after the bleaching Ian is talking about GUMPTION.  White cleansing paste which is not too abrasive.

Buy new ones

[Rossvickicampbell]

Give the missus some money to go shopping, not too much, & stick them in the dishwasher, pot cycle.
NO DRYING.

I use Jiff, works fine on all the boot scuffs and crap that the CT18 wont move on the DRZ

[Freakshow]

What about if you put your old 2 stroke in the kids white Peewee 50 and forget it has a oil bottle so was only on pump gas in the tank....... i  notice now that the tank is browny orange ? lik eits been baked in the sun.
Told the missus when she saw it this time they brough it out and cracked it that it must have been the Dye in the petrol, hope to christ she dont remeber where the kids got the fuel from...........

IDeas ? or should i just try and buy a used one ?  MAybe a blue one and no one will notice............

 Tank and most guards without stickers!!! Industrial Caustic floor wax stripper, straight, and , wear gloves and eye protection, lots of fun choking fumes too. Rinse and hit with the pressure washer carefully.

Dave - Gumption tends to be a paste rather than a liquid like Jiff and therefore is a little more abrasive without being over the tope - give it a try - you could do the shower screen at the same time!

On my YZ I used 800 wet and dry (if you need to remove scratches) Jif and then Mothers plastic polish came up nice and glossy but my plastics were not badly oxidised just tarnished.
PS I tryed bleaching it didn't work

I have cleaned Acerbis guards that were badly oxidised using a Goldilocks wire pot scourer to remove the top layer of damages plastic.  Followed up with wet and dry from 180 grit to 800 in steps. - use soapy water and rinse paper frequently.  Jiff to polish and Bobs your fathers brother!  The pot scourer removed the shitty layer great.  Works brilliantly but takes a few hours of scrubbing while watching TV to get it done. I found bleach didn't even look at it.
