Pledge furniture polish or Armor-All type products.

Just wanted to share a hot tip that seems to work real good. I've tried degreasers, solvent,simple green,acetone and nothing worked better to clean the tub of the superchief then good old Dawn dishwashing liquid and a clean wire brush. It was Bridget's idea. (she's good for something)

Very nice Whipper. I'll have to try that out. Any suggestions for faded HDPE? Don suggested the heat gun. What do youi think?

How about you HMike?

I haven't tried the heat gun thing yet. Don't have one. My body really doesn't need it anyway.

I use tide to degrease and tire wet on the body and it makes them look like new

I use Simple Green for cleaning just about everything. The best tool for cleaning the tub when the machine is assembled is a toilet bowl brush. Nice long handle that reaches under the chains and everything else thats in the way.

Thanks for asking George.... For the D/stock and the RIM I just used some dishwash soap and a pressure washer with a plastic-style scotch brite pad. For the ABS machines, nothing.... NOTHING takes the place of wet sanding after the same degrease method. I don't feel the need to REALLY make 'em shine. I flog them all so badly they turn into ugly messes in a couple weeks after I spend all the time shining them up.... The poor RIM was out for about 3 hours today gettin' all beat up. Flawless, once again. The 4-stroke argument stops at that machine's front tire. :oP
