We recently bought a 2007 Yamaha Raptor SE...and it's white. I've ridden it a lot since we got it last month in both sand and dirt. What I'm getting to is that I wash it after every trip but there are certain spots (where my legs rub, etc) that are stained brown no matter how hard I scrub...anyone know what I can use to get it back to white without ruining it???

I haven't used it but Mothers Plastic Polish might work for ya! Assuming the 'gloss' surface has been roughed up too much.
If you do give it a try, show us some before and after pics.
Good Luck!!

Try Tide w/bleach laundry detergent or that oxyclean stuff. Either of those work pretty good at getting stains out of white plastic without scratching it more than what it already is.

Welcome to the Dawn & Chris!
I have used Clorox Cleanup spray with some grey scotchbrite. For the real nasty areas I use comet cleanser and red scotch brite. I have also used bleach but you have to be very careful when handling it or a lot of what you are wearing will be white.

I've been using some new products from xtream clean xtc. They have a mx / atv wash that pretty much cuts through all types of mud, grease and riding grime. It's the best product I have ever used to clean the quad hands down. Spray it on wash it off. The wash product also has some of what they call mud guard in it to help prevent stuff from sticking hard to the surface of the quad. The mud guard is sold as a specrate item and I also use it after cleaning as a final detail step. It really makes cleaning easier and fast because it doesn't allow the mud and stains to stick hard and washes off easier.
