Default Any Tricks To Repairing/Blending In Plastic Scratches ??

I would like to clean up the plastic on my quad to make it a bit prettier before I sell it. It has scuffs and the like, mostly from kids shoes and the outer edges of the fenders from rubbing brush, etc..

What do you guy's do ?

I was thinking a fine sandpaper but I'll wait for good advice [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] !!

I think fine sandpaper might just make the situation worse. I find that if I caot the fenders with an automotive detailing product such as Armor-all it gives the bike a "wet" look and inturn hides most scuffs and scrapes, be sure to spray it liberally alover the fenders and wipe dry with a clean cloth.

An automotive buffer and use pollishing compound, NOT buffing compound, too abrasive.

I have never used it, but I heard this stuff works pretty well. About $20 per kit.

Plastic Renew
