I've had good luck with my Makita buffer with a foam pad and some 3M Fast Cut compound at 1200RPM.....but I agree with alward25....just buy a new one,bolt on -n- go.

motopunk:
new replica plastics for all kx ´74 and newer  :  ---   www.nightmare-racing.com   ---

aftermarket plastics ´87 and newer : from "ufo-plast" : ---  www.ufoplast.com  ---


the pc plastic renew is a cool thing if you make it right. but if you have the chance to get new plastics, you should bye it.
 with the plastic-renew- kit you should only work on parts, that are no more available in new, like tanks, airboxes  etc....

Every body is quoting front fenders... What about the $50 shrouds or 40-$50 rear fender. to buy all new plastics for a K5 is well over $20 for the front fender. Don't think just the front fender is dull lol. 2cents

Rear fenders are $20 or less.  A complete polisport set of new plastics is $94. 

I can see the value of buying cleaning supplies for $20 if you have a lot of plastics to clean up, but if it's just one piece I'd probably buy it new.
