Could anybody recommend a polish for my moped plastics.

Just looking to get a nice shine to it.

Simoniz original wax polish (in a tin) + Elbow grease is about the best you could use.

Fucking hard work but you don't need to do it very often. Also works on the screen and black bits.

I use asda spray furniture polish about 50p a can.

The best I ever came across was Ronuk furniture and floor polish (no longer available).

of course you can pay a lot more for branded car polish or even more for a specialist bike polish.

whats in a car polish that you don`t get in a furniture polish anybody know??

Get a decent set of Autoglym, it's about 20-30 quid and contains allsorts, lasts forever and is probably the best stuff. Karma

I use a bottle of cheap turtle wax polish, I have been recommended mer polish several times but have never tried it.

I then use Mr sheen to wax it, does an awesome job Mr. Green

Cuts through grease and dirt too Thumbs Up

I use mer, you can polish your glass/plastic screen etc with it too. Good stuff. Also unless the bike has managed to get filthy, I just use Auto GLYMS showroom shine which gives a nice easy gleem without too much elbow grease.
