Can am xps plastics cleaner/polish

Let me first start by saying I’ve never had this much trouble with plastics or cleaning ever. I have a 2016 570L viper red. I hate the finish on the plastics. It’s was nice and glossy when I first got it. I washed it one time with soft water and car wash cleaner and right away I noticed a difference. Not completely screwed up or anything but not as glossy. Fine, I’ll put a coat of carnuba on it. It looked good. So I went to the dealer and asked them. They said use the brp xps cleaner polish. I got a can and I hate it. Instant haze. I hand buff the crap outta it and it’s still not right. Wtf am I missing? I’m not a complete moron (or maybe I am) come on now, this really should not be that hard. I’m anal about keeping it "like new" but I can’t take a hazy finish. What are you guys with the red doing?

New to Grizzly and this thread

Hi, I’m Clam and hail from Central Virginia. I picked up my ’16 SE Grizz back in February and have loved every minute on it. I look forward to pushing this platform to the max in all the terrain Va and surrounding states have to offer. Anybody local to my area feel free to reach out. Cheers!!!

2016 Grizzly clutching?

Loving my new Grizzly but have some questions for those who have put shims in. First I have a 05 673 Grizzly with a 1.5mm shim and 4 450 weights. Bike will snap and yank the wheels anything under 10mph. From a stop it will go on rack if you want it to. Second my old 09 my buddy bought is on 30’s and same mods Yanks Wheelie’s for day’s!
The new Grizzly I first tried 1.5mm and couldn’t really tell a difference. So I am now at 1.7mm and still have to yank on the bar’s to pull the front’s. Weird thing is it will pull them from 5-10mph easy? What’s going on here? I am currently running 27’s and plan to run 28-30’s. I am scared this new motor is top end only or is the tuning that limited?

Phantom Camo

I am thinking of purchasing a 2016 Rancher and I really like the look of the Phantom Camo one. I have a buddy with a 2010 camo foreman and the camo wrap has started to peel really bad. They say the application process has changed for the newer models (I think 2014-2016). I was just wondering if anyone had any insight into whether or not peeling is still an issue or if the new application has really made a difference. Thanks.

Strut upgrade available?

Got a buddy with a 2015 570 with a bad front strut. Probably going to upgrade the springs to the polaris HD or epi HD springs, but was looking for the potential of upgraded struts. I see some older information about some works shocks, kimpex, fox, etc. For the 2000 models, but it is the same strut number as the 2015 machine, 7041762 so I wonder if anything is compatabile? Am I missing some other upgraded struts that are available?
