i dont know how to get rid of deep scratches really other than rubbing compound as before mentioned. however, if you have white streaks or blotches from the plastic bending try hitting them with a propane torch. only run the torch across for a second obviously, but it re-orders so to say the molecules and will darken them back up a bit. not like original obviously but you can get them pretty close, just take your time and dont burn em.

hope this helped

Man my plastic was all scratched up so I ordered PC racings plastic renew... It required alot of work to sand it all down, but WOW this stuff works so good. I don't even think you get plastic brand new this glossy. Its only like 17 dollars and can do 2 quads. (way cheaper than buying new plastic). You WON'T be dissapointed as long as u do it right. If you ever have any questions about doing it just PM me.

WTF!!! How did a truck hit your quad? Was it on a trailer and a traffic accident or something? That's horrible, and I hope you have insurance.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]
