i take me a SOS pad and take it to the stains on white plastic, white plastic is the EASIEST to keep clean man, just scrub your *** off gettin the stains out, but only scrub the stains, and dont go so crazy with the pressurewasher on the plastic and your stickers will stay on

for the stickers i buy some clear vinyl and put that over the stickers. its the same thickness as your number plate backgrounds. it works great i pressure wash my quad all the time and it never peels. as for the plastic i used to have a drz400 dirtbike with a white tank which showed dirt really bad. i used simple green and a soft bristle auto detail brush (looks like one you clean your finger nails with) to scrub the stain/ scratches filled with dirt then just rinse off. worked great i also clean my white tech8 boots like this

Use brake cleaner on those stubborn stains in the white plastics, works great.

Comet with bleach? Last time I checked that produced harmful vapors

If you power wash spray it DIRECTLY on the decal like at a 90 degree angle. Don't spray at one from the side that is what peels it off. At least thats what i always do and mine are still on there... Don't have white plastics but everyone else seemed to answer that question...

well ive even washed it with just a garden hose at home and certain stickers seem to come off real easy!!! I guess im just going to have to wash around them then hand wash the stickers.
