    Default Passenger Rails

    I purchased a new 2016 can am Spyder st but the passenger rails looks like their scuffed. How do you care for the rubber rails.
    Thanks for any suggestions, can't put on it anything that is greasy.

    I guess my question is how do you maintain the rubber passenger rails.

    There is nothing that I have found that will remove or even diminish the scuffs. The material is very strange. I chose to have mine covered by an automotive upholsterer.

    Been thinking about this with regards to mine and I was thinking about wrapping them with that grip tape used for tennis racket grips. Can get pretty cool looking ones at sporting goods store.

    A friend had the same issue and he got it buffed when brought it in for storage before a trip. Costs way to much to mention.

    The rails scuff easily - I never found anything that really worked.
    Have seen them with a sheepskin cover matching seat sheepskin cover...

    Thanks, at least I know it's something sought of common.

    Wonder if you could just wrap them with paracord to protect them.

    I know there is some cleaners & treatments that are not slippery for vinyl and rubber. Sorry, I don't remember their names thou. Do a google search for "non slippery vinyl protectant" and you will find a few.
