Default Cyclops plastic polish
I have never used anything on the plastic front of my tractors. Has anyone had good results with polishes / waxes.

With as much plastic as what's on cars now days a good waxing should help! I've waxed plastic on other machines, but I don't own any cubs that don't have steel hoods.

I used automotive/car wax on my 2084. It turned out pretty well.

I can't remember the name of it but it in a orange(edit nu finish) bottle at walmart, they also 2000 car wash, and 3m in different grits that really works well. test in a area of course that does not show, then finish up with some mothers mag polish. Also 3M comes in several different grades.

I know this isn't a John Deere site but the plastic/hood doesn't give any problems like cubs. I wish they put metal hoods on the cubs like the 782's

I was in our local NAPA store yesterday and noticed several plastic cleaner/polisher products on the automotive cleaning shelf so you should have no problem with a product to do the job. Sorry I did not pay enough attention to brand or name.

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.
