Refreshing resin parts that have been whitened using the Yamarubu series <Exterior care chemicals x 5 selections>

Yamaha's famous liquid parts (engine oil, cooling water, etc.) for Yamaha cars have a rich lineup of maintenance-related chemicals. Of course, as a chemical that can be used on vehicles other than Yamaha without any problems, it has gained a great deal of trust from foreign car owners. In this article, we will introduce 5 items that we would like to recommend, including a resin luster revitalizing agent that revitalizes whitened resin parts.

Resin luster revival agent: "Dark" silicone keeps deep luster for a long time

Scooter and small displacement car fenders and air cleaner boxes are often used without painting in the resin color at the time of molding, and when they are whitened due to aging, they look very cheap. The main component of this "super plastic luster revitalizer" is silicone oil, but it has a higher concentration than commercially available silicone sprays and gives a dark luster. Since it is not painted, the effect diminishes over time, but the semi-glossy feel that is not too shiny is a high-quality impression.

Easy to use. After removing dirt and oil, spray like paint at a distance of 5 to 10 cm. If you apply it evenly and dry it as it is, you will get a black finish as shown on the right side of the photo at the beginning. This is convincing. If unevenness appears, wipe it off with a waste cloth.

The whitening of black resin parts is a sad deterioration phenomenon that occurs in the same way for vehicles of any manufacturer. I want to go beyond the boundaries of manufacturers and use it for daily maintenance.

[Yamalube Super Plastic Gloss Restoration Agent] Unlike spray wax for painted surfaces, this product specializes in giving gloss to whitened, unpainted black resin parts. Be careful not to get it on the brakes or tires as the silicon itself will slip. ● Price: 2145 yen (500ml) [Tap the photo to enlarge]

Unpainted fenders molded by adding toner to resin may be difficult to recover with wax or compound when they lose their luster. This gloss rejuvenating agent improves the condition considerably, but it tends to be sticky compared to when black resin is applied. It is necessary to adjust the coating amount to suppress it.

Glass-based coating: Both deep luster and high water repellency

Achieves both deep luster and high water repellency due to the high-density glass coating made of organosilicon compounds. It is a spray type glass coating agent that anyone can easily apply. Since the hard glass film is hard to get dirty and has high water repellency, it is difficult for water droplets to dry out and cause ring stains. Let's wash the car before use so as not to damage it.

[Yamalube glass-based coating (foam type)] The feature of the coating agent is that the coating film itself has a deep luster without the feeling of "I'm really painting". It is more durable than wax, and the film becomes stronger with repeated application. ● Price: 3080 yen (180ml) [Tap the photo to enlarge]

Shake the can well before use, spray it thinly and evenly, and spread it with the attached cloth. When the wet feeling of the foam disappears, the cloth will slide smoothly. When installing in a small area, spray the cloth before applying. [Enlarge by tapping the photo]

Super Bike Wax: Click here for wax lovers who like polishing

Among the polish lovers, there are wax groups and coating groups, each of which is exquisitely segregated. There is an opinion that wax has an exaggerated luster and its oil content is easily deteriorated by ultraviolet rays, but with the current technology, it is possible to sufficiently realize wax with good weather resistance. This "Super Bike Wax" has good water repellency and can remove stains such as water stains, so it is attractive that it can be used without hesitation even when washing a car normally.

[Yamalube Super Bike Wax] The feature of wax is that it forms a strong gloss film, and it is recommended for users who want to emphasize gloss. The photo contains 500 ml, and there is also a small capacity of 180 ml. ● Price: 2090 yen (500ml) / 990 yen (180ml) [Tap the photo to enlarge]

Compared to the glass-based coating, the spray foam has a higher viscosity and a thick feeling. If you leave it on, it may cause stains and uneven color, so wipe it off immediately. [Enlarge by tapping the photo]

Cleaner for matte color: Special product for matte color that is difficult to maintain

The matte color is fashionable and unique, but maintenance is difficult. There is no problem if it is about shampoo for car wash, but if you rub it strongly with persistent dirt, it will become glossy, and besides having a compound. In such a case, you can rely on this "matte color cleaner". It has both stain removal and water repellency, and can also clean bouncing chain lubes without leaving oil stains.

[Yamalube Matte Color Cleaner] Even if you say "cleaner", it is not as highly volatile as parts cleaners, and it has a unique feel that makes you feel oil like a penetrating lubricant. The photo has a capacity of 200 ml, and there is also a compact 67 ml type (with a special cloth). ● Price: 2585 yen (200ml) / 1870 yen (67ml) [Tap the photo to enlarge]

As the name suggests, the matte fresco brown color of the CT125 Hunter Cub has a matte paint on the exterior. If you spray the cleaner, it will remain wet, so it is recommended to let it soak into the dirt before wiping it off. Ideal for maintenance of matte-painted helmets that have stains on hands and fingers. [Enlarge by tapping the photo]

Chemical set for helmet shield: Good visibility for a safe ride!

Insects and oil on the helmet shield not only impair visibility but also reduce concentration. It is bothersome to glare when driving in the rain and to cloud the inner surface of the shield during winter or the rainy season. With a 3-piece set of "cleaner" that removes persistent stains, "water repellent" that creates a water repellent film on the surface, and "anti-fog" that prevents fogging on the inside, the shield is always shiny and comfortable.

[Chemical set for helmet (set of 3)] A portable maintenance item that contains 3 types of chemicals in a 20 ml push bottle. If you clean the shield at a hotel or campsite on the evening of a long touring trip, you can drive comfortably the next day. ● Price: 2200 yen [Tap the photo to enlarge]

If you are particular about the beauty of your bike, you should also pay attention to your helmet and clothing. The shield can be cleaned with a mild detergent, but it's even more comfortable with a water repellent and anti-fog. [Enlarge by tapping the photo]
