KUBOTA M6800SDC
I have a 2005 M6800 cab. I bale hay with it so there no way it can set inside all the time. The top is starting to fade alittle. I wax the rest of the tractor once a year to help it. But don't know what to do about the plastic top. Anyone have any idea??

Wax a tractor:eek: just kidding, I wax mine too. It cleans up really easy with a coat of wax on it. Years ago I talked a friend who had an old faded Corvette into putting ArmorAll on the paint. It worked so well people were asking him where he got his paint job. The regular ArmorAll is greasy so it attracts dirt where a coat of wax doesn't. But dirt aside, it does seem to revitalize old faded paint. Keep in mind that his was the older family of auto paint, haven't tried it on anything newer than a 62 Corvette.

For ATVs and Dirtbike fenders we use a product called "Plastic Renew".
Fills in pores, can even take out scratches.

My dad uses products on his vinyl on his RV, can't remember the name of it, check camping/RV supply stores. It has UV stabilizers in it, so it cleans then protects from the UVs and elements.

Check a West Marine store. 3M makes a wax for boats with UV inhibitors in it to keep boats from fading...fiberglass is fiberglass There is also colorback wax for badly faded fiberglass.

Sold the boat, hard to mow with...REAL narrow cuts!!
