Plastic cleaning ideas.
I'm looking for ideas to remove the gas stains from the plastic on the IH Lawnboy, I was going to paint it but it work really good under the pines trees so I think I might leave it as is if I can get rid of the stains. The area is part smooth and part textured so wet sanding and buffing it is out.

A Mr. Clean sponge/wipe really did an outstanding job on my soft cabs and made them look like new.

Or white vinegar if you're not up to buying a whole bottle of muriatic. Test first with ear thingy. Another thing is Meguire's (sp?) paint cleaner.

Vinegar, baking soda and a tooth brush. Or you may try the stuff they use to whiten teeth? May work, I don't know. Wouldn't think it would hurt anything.

For plastic and staining from a hydrocarbon, I would give anything with hydrogen peroxide a try. It will bleach mildly as well as attack any residual carbon based material.
Give the Oxy clean stuff a try, give some time to let the peroxide do its thing, maybe 10 mins or so. If you can get your hands on 35% peroxide (it's pretty restricted now due to its power and likability with the mujahideen), put some on with a tooth brush and scrub in for maybe 2 mins max and rinse. Don't get on your self unless there is some skin you want to first bleach, then extricate.

IMO try fantastik first. If that doesn't help go tougher.

The 35% peroxide I got from a cleaning supply "facility" after you apply it, let it sit out in the sun for a couple hours, it'll be oh so white.

Since I'm in the chemical field, I got my hands on some 50% peroxide. Pour a bit of that on a wood pallet and it chars first in a few seconds and spontaneously combusts. Pretty cool!!
The 35% on wood will char it black but no flame. They are both pretty powerful.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
