Plastic seat help please !

(1/2) > >>

factory pilot:
Okay so this is going to sound a bit anal but I've got a lovely NOS blue early kasha mx saddle and it's got some minor shelf wear ...the odd tiny scratch and blemish....

is there anyway of removing these or polishing them out without buggering the rest of the seat ?
is there such a thing as plastic polish and would it work or is it too abrasive ?

just want this thing to look perfect for  a minty show type build ...

thanks in advance guys :daumenhoch:

brummie:
fit it first and sit back and have a good look
sometimes you focus on parts and their individual odd blemish
when you build the bike up you dont notice them so much :)

factory pilot:
nice, sensibly advice mate... from a veteran who knows better than me  :daumenhoch:..... you're probably right dude ;)...  when it's on you probably won't even notice  :smitten:

does anyone know or have ever used plastic polish though ?....what's the crack...?

BENDYCAT ELEVENTEEN:
Show us some pic's

As brummie says, parts can have battle scars or marks and be just fine

I have thought "what if I just" and have started to restore only to find that I am digging a bigger hole and mess it up in the end

peek can polish up some plastics ~ you need to test first

you can take it too far and have to keep going to you ruin it ? trust me been there

put up some pic's and lets see what can and shouldn't be done  ;)


cheers B  ;)

Good advice to just leave it if its not too bad...... The problem with Kashis (Aeros anyway - not sure about MX) is that if you try to repair the bumpy raised part its very difficult to reproduce the bumps as they smooth out whilst sanding/cleaning etc .

Obviously if you sand the smooth sides they rough up....!?!?  :-\ :-\
