I am curious about this one too. The plastic seems to scratch very easily, and wondered if there was anything to help get them out.

Stay outta the woods, stay in 2nd gear, ride on pavement, stay in front. Your not going to avoid scratches onless you ride like I just stated, but whats the fun in that. You can keep the shine of your plastics if you whip it down with Formula 2000, I have read that Ajax or Comet clenser will help with light scratches but all in all if your not entering a quad beauty pagent then ride it like its your last ride and replace them when they get really bad.

I clean my plastic on my zilla with brillo pads because it's older plastic, then dry it off and use Sun of a Gun Protectant on it. Shines great.

You don't remove scratches. My bikes 3 months old. I told myself I'd never let my plastic get crappy, but it just happens. It still shines nice, but there are marks all over it.

Yeah that's the suck part about riding. The scratches are hear to stay unless you are willing to sand the material. Then you have to refinish it then . Just keep it clean and wax it once in a while to help give the allusion of scratch free surface. I recomend the automotive wax Nu Finish in the orange bottle. It cleans the plastic and seat very well and gives a nice shine. Try it , you will like it.

Well if you have scratches in the plasic use some 600 sand paper with so water will sand them down and then put some kine of wax on it and it will look as good as new, until you go riding in the trees again.

The have plastic renew kits, but I've read that they take hours and hours to do. To make your plastic shine, try foaming tire cleaner. Works great!
