    I've seen this done on my buddy's spark. Works great! Thanks Kevin

      That's because we followed the steps outlined by Sea-Doo! It's how they recommend repairing their Polytec.

    Thanks so much for all your hard work, great tips. Do you have a product and method recommendation for restoring the seat material?

      It's really ONLY if you've got severely bleached/sun damaged plastics.

      We've seen a lot of wipes and dressings, some more expensive than others. We wanted to use two VERY common brand names as well as Sea-Doo's own brand and see how they fared.

    How long did it hold up? Have you had to redo it yet? (2 years later)

    Kevin, on the nose piece, there are a couple of "wet" looking spots. Was this too much, too little heat that is causing these splotchy areas?

    • @watercraftjournal
      @watercraftjournal  3 года назад +1

      Permanent "wet spots" are where too much heat was applied. Admittedly, we got too close in 3 small areas. A good coat of plastic dressing helps even that out.

    Did you do around your instrument cluster too? Is it ok to carefully do this around your speedo read out?? Thanks !

      Thankfully, we didn't need to. But in many cases, yes it may be necessary - and yes, it is safe if you take your time and are skillful with the gun.

      Sorta true. The Trixx and EXR are both riots - I strongly suggest giving those a whirl. Plus, they're both 50 state legal and don't leave snail trails in the water!

    Can you tell me which restorer you recommend to clean the colored plastic?
