I don't think there is a way to remove scratches from the plastic without destroying the shine. I have tried the marine finishing polish for fiberglass which polishes the fiberglass to a perfect shine and even that doesn't work. I would love to know if anyone has any thing that really does work.

Buy a camo finish. The wear and tear shows the least on the camo. The finish on my new Stealth 800 Popo is a lot more scratch resistant than the normal plastic too.

If its not a really deep scratch, just like a rub mark.....take some 1000 grit sand paper and rub it out, and then use a little propane blow torch to get the shine back (you can get a little torch kit from lowes or home depot for like $20). Be careful not to get it too hot where the plastic bubbles or gets funny looking, just hold it a few inches away for a few seconds, that will make it nice and shiny again where the sand paper scuffed it up.
