   Our plastic red hazard stakes have a white, hard water film on them that we are trying to get off but can't seem to find a way. We have tried sanding, pressure washer, and scrubbing with no success. I have thought about vinyl guard but we have over 250 hazard stakes and i don't want to spend the next two months with a heat gun in my hand. Next thought is a wood plainer.
   
   What do you think?

   Try using a planar like you would use on wood. You can plane off a small amount of the surface plastic and they will look like brand new.

   I'd reconsider vinylguard, then you can forget about them. Its worth the time to do it.

   Acetone should clean up and bring back to new. We use on our plastic tee signs from Prestwick.
   
   I have not used on stakes but plan on testing in a couple of days when we get more acetone in.

   Try Mothers Back to Black available at most auto parts stores. It is designed for black trim on a car that is oxidized but I tried it on my stakes and signage and works really well. Easy to use as well. Although with the name it WILL NOT turn everything black.
