I don't think that cleaner eliminates scratches! If you are looking at just making them shiny scratches, I have found tire shine on the plastic and then wiping with a rag makes it look good!

I wonder if carefully using a torch will melt the scratches out???? Never tried it.

plastic scratches
 
My Rincon looked like it was sanded when I bought it used. I've tried all the recommendations on the forums and was not satisfied with any of them. What I ended up doing was wiping a thin coat of Acrylic Pledge Future Finish with a small sponge.

PledgeŽ with FutureŽ Premium Floor Finish

Hardens to a hard finish and you have shine that will not wash off or dirt to stick to. Ammonia will take if off and just reapply as necessary. The scratches are still there but now with shine and are unnoticeable.

Ya! Thats what I did we took 400 grit sand paper sanded all the fenders and then took a torch over it very carefully and it worked great!
