Default Deep scratches in plastic HELP!

I have a few deep scratches in the fenders of my 02 300 EX and I was wondering if there was a way to remove them. You can notice them because the scratches fill up with mud and you cant wipe it off. Any info would be a help THANKS!!!!

You could try filling it up with puddy(sp?) and repainting over it. May be hard to get a color match, since I don't think Honda uses solid solid colors, think they have a lighter tone red.

I have a yellow one anyway. What if you sanded the scratches out would there be a way to make the plastic shinney again? can you polish and wax plastic like a car?

Never use a high pressure washer. Well you can just use a jet that does not force out a lot of water. When use Windex Outdoor Window and Surface Cleaner. You attatch it to your garden hose. Makes my Quad look pretty damn good.
