I don't have a black brute but I've got black plastics on my KX 450F. I always wash mine as good as possible then spray it down with STP son of a gun tire foam. It makes it look like new again.

I do the same but use a redmax blower. Also I use mothers or mcquire products.(Thanks to my kid with his firebird,I wouldnt buy it) Black is hard because you see every scratch.Looks great when new.

I buy Purple Power from Advanced auto parts. 5 gallons for like $21.00 that will last a long time. Usually I soak it in that then pressure wash it. Sometimes I will have to hand wash here and there but that stuff is awesome!!
