Game On

I have a 97 Baja with bolsters that have the plastic?/fiberglass? on the back with the metal grab handle. Anyone know the easiest/ best way to get them back to white. Mine are almost yellow...

Poorsche

Give Mr Clean Magic Erasers a try. They've pulled off a few miracles for me where I never thought they would work. If it's fiberglass or plastic thry Aqua-Buff then Dupont Teflon spray on wax. Fiberglass guy at marina showed me this secret. He also shoed me how to use 3M liquid rubbing compund/sealer to clean fiberglass and all the metal, All the stuff he gave me was from a pro detail supplier.

Game, The backing is plastic. You can try what Poorsche suggested but all of them I have seen had to be painted. They were all removed and brought to me so I don't know how they disassemble but it should not be that hard. Even if you do get lucky and polish some of it out (which I doubt) it will happen again since the plastic has no UV protection.

Thanks for the help! My next question is removing them? Custom, I know you said it should not be that hard, but where do I start? Anyone know how?

Game, Let me re-phrase that. It shouldn't be that hard ( if you know what you are doing!!!) When it comes to upholstery work I don't have a clue! That is why I had them brought to me separated. If it was my boat, I would un-bolt it from its base and take it to a good upholstery shop and let them disassemble and reassemble them. That way you know it is done right! Good Luck!

I also have a 97 Baja with faded white plastic. Any help in disassembly of the bolsters would be helpful for me. Somebody has to know how to go about this ??

Matt, you figure out how to take 'em apart ( on your boat of course) and i'll paint them. What a deal!

Funny..... That's what I told everyone too!!!!

Matt, kenny's offer is killer. He has always charged me an arm and a leg.
