Default Plastic is starting to look "dusty"?

my front fender is starting to get this "dusty" look. if im not mistaken its a reaction to the uv from the sun. is any1 familiar with how to revitalize the plastic and get rid of this?

Notlike new 100%. You have to use a little imagination and maybea little polishing compound as in the example on they're web site. I have been happy using it on the uv and stress cracks on the daggers i have.
Email 303 and see if they will send you a free sample to try.
Or spend recklessly like i have on this bike and buy a acerbis tecnik front fender. Green front/ black rear looks good on mine.

You should see my YZ-its B-E-A-T blue! The KLX still looks great but I've only had it for a couple of months and it's been too hot to do a whole lot of riding. I will enjoy giving it that used look. Come on guys it's really a dirt bike so get it dirty and keep it dirty. Clean, shiny dirt bikes are so-ooooo gay-IMO. See you on the trails

I will vouch for jsac's bike looking ridden. I am going to try and make it back up to ride again with you guys before the winter comes. Next time I will have a collar bone protector on though, I now have a permanent lump on the bone. Oh well its all good
