| It is a good product. The more time you spend getting the plastics ready for the product, the better. Its like a good paint job, you get a better finish with better surface preparation. |

what is involved/how does it work?
i know you have to sand and rub alot to get rid of any scratches/gouges, but whats the next step?
i am under the impression that you "paint" on some sort of product that forms a shiny film, is this correct?
if so, how durable is it and do stickers and the like still stick good?
how shiny/glossy do you think you could get the plastics with just sanding and polishing with normal polish?
thanks, mark. |

I have just seen a bike done, the guy did a really good job...if you like a painted look go ahead...
Can't say I would do it to mine though, I think it looks cheap and nasty myself...
My guards have some discolouration and I would rather my guards then his freshly painted guards...  |

| I did my bike it looked good to start with but you have to watch what you use to clean it as degreaser marked it badly and i had to do it all over again and its a big job. With the stickers you have to put them on first then put the plastic renew over the stickers. Still worth the effort i reckon. |
