    Hey everyone thought I would share how to polish up those clear ramps without the use of flame, restoring my black knight 2000 here’s the how to:

    Materials needed:
    Meguiars ultimate compound
    3m ultrafine machine polish
    Turtle wax ice or any liquid wax( used ice since it leaves no residue behind)
    3000 or 5000 grit sanding sponge
    Suede square or micro fiber rag

    Start by lightly wetting the sponge with water, ring out excess, place a few drops of the ultimate compound on the ramp, rub in into the ramp with the sanding sponge. Let haze wipe clean. Repeat this process until you achieve the level of ball mark removal.

    Step 2, wipe away all ultimate compound, use the 3m perfect it ultrafine polish and and sandpaper. Rub into plastic til it appears the polish is gone. While clean with suede or rag( I used suede as I’ve had better results)

    Step 3 (optional if you chose), using a rag or buffing sponge rub the turtle wax ice into plastic, once wax dries to a haze wipe clean.

    Step 4 enjoy the clarity with no chance of burns.

    Here’s the results, I don’t have a before I forgot to take one.
