Looks good however I would strongly recommend removing them from your bike first;

looks good as I have been thinking about how to get my plastic looking reasonable .
I might give this a go and get back to you all at a later date.

I agree, it does look like a good idea, I'd certainly be removing the plastic though.
-
I'd be wondering about whether it would make the plastics brittle because what's happening is the hydrocarbon chains are being reformed and volatile components would be escaping.

I might wait and see how you go before I try it :thumb

We should keep as much volatility in the ST's as is possible..... :thumbs :thumbs :thumbs
Seriously thou, my plastics look like new because I;
- Removed them all from the bike
- Gave them a very good wash with soapy water
- Cleaned them with diluted wax and grease remover
- Washed again with clean water
- Lightly sanded with 150 grit sand paper
- Rinsed with water and left to dry in the sun
- Spray them with a paint bonding solution (this is a must) and finally
- Sprayed them with a colour matched spray paint. ( purchased mine from Autobarn - a perfect match for the guso grey - about $24 (2 aerosol cans) did all of them, two coats
Looking good.

AND it sealed the volatility in, so you don't lose any top speed or fuel economy. :thumbs
