Correcting plastic bodywork?

[nateeric]

Looking for a bit of advice..

 

I have a Polaris Ranger that I want to detail. I asked Adams a week or so ago and they suggested revive hand polish after a wash and clay, and then CSC.

 

I played around with the revive a bit tonight and while it cleaned the plastic up a bit it's still quite swirled.

 

Any options for this? Can I clean it up if I use correcting compound with the orange hex hand applicator? I feel like using a machine would be a no go on plastics.

I was also looking to detail a Polaris. It's not mine, and so I don't know the specs on the vehicle. I wasn't sure what I would do with the seats and the "interior." Is that just a Wipe down with APC? Or would I use an interior detailer on those seats for some UV protection?

I used interior detailer on mine for that reason, and it cleaned up pretty good. I suppose you could go over it with APC first and then ID?

Any other thoughts or advice?

Unless there's something special with the Polaris plastics, you can polish plastic like paint. As always start least aggressive, and the same principles apply. I've seen others do riding mowers, etc. with a polisher  For the seats, consider LC and/or ID.
