Hard working Polaris quad extreme makeover

It is hard to believe these pictures are of the same bike, but they are. Our camera operator on the day was not the best camera operator but got enough to tell the story.

Our mission was the get this hard life beaten Polaris quad bike, which had been on the used market for some months, back to as close as showroom condition as possible.

We picked up the machine from the Dealer on a cold winters afternoon along with a brand new Polaris quad which we were to coat with NDG Hyperseal to see how the product holds up against the UV effects of the sun on plastic.

We took the units our workshop and got to work.

The Red unit was a high hour and hard life trade-in with reasonable fading on the red plastic and high fading and oxidation on the black plastic and crystallisation of the plastic on the from tool box.

The black painted sections were also faded to oxidation stages and the aluminium was dulled and badly mud stained.

The End results were beyond what we had expected. When we took the quad back to the dealer.

The following afternoon we went back to have a look at the treatment condition on the tool box plastic as it was highly absorbent and we wanted to see if the Hyperseal had soaked in and what effect that would have on the plastic, if at all, to find that the quad was sold and delivered the same day and we were told that the plastic looked new so no problems to report.

12 months later

We asked the dealer to follow-up on the quad with the owner who said that the bike looks just as it did when they bought it and that they were very happy with the way it looks.

What we did:

We pressure cleaned the unit with NDG Bio Crystal Magic which did a great job of removing the mud stains on all the metals.
We then applied Hyperseal to every part of the unit we could reach. In all we spent 2 hours getting the Unit back to an excellent condition.
