Polishing scratches Scrambler 500 2004
I have a 2004 scambler 500 2004. The black plastic shows terrible scratch marks. Does anyone now how to polish the scratches out of the plastic? And what type of polish to use with a rotary buffer? I have tried armor all but all that does is hide them for awhile.
Please help!

I have used a product called NOVUS. It comes in three different levels of scratch removal. #1 Plastic Clean and Shine, #2 Fine Scratch Removal, and #3 Deep Scratch Removal.
Immediately after use, the plastic looks like new(close anyway), but after oneor two rides, they come back. This stuff sort of fills in the scratches so you don't notice them. I only have used it when I am showing my quad to new friends that haven't seen it before.
I have talked to my riding club about my scratches and a few of them have taken a propane torch to their plastic. They VERY CAREFULLY passed the torch over the plastic until the slow melt fille in the scratch. I have not been brave enough to try this one. Maybe before I trade it someday, but thats along ways off.(IF EVER)

In theory, the method sounds good, but like you said one unstady hand and oopsy daisy. Now you are shelling out the $$$ because of a little vanity obsession. Thats not for me either. All-in-all, I must agree Xtremeskier and Kawasakiman. We buy these quads to ride and work on. They are not '66 mustang convrtibles that we are going to parade aroung the fair grounds. I like to maintain my quad and keep it clean so it lasts.
To repeat a quote I read on the forums..."Ride it like the bosses daughter."

Use a heat gun, you won't need such a steady hand. Go slow untill you get the hang of it. You can watch the small scratches disapear.
