Is there anything that will take out scratches on plastic? or at least make them less noticeable.. I have a Dark Green Outlander and its all scratched up..lol But at least you can tell it has been used..

 

Try some stuff called Plastic Renew

 

Try using a heat gun for paint removal ( or a propane torch with a bit more care will work ) lightly heat up the surface of your plastic where the scratches are the edges blend together & the scratches will nearly disappear...I have head of several people having good success with this method, I haven't personnally used it but have seen the results... it will also work to a point for restoring some of the faded color on sun faded plastic as well... I don't know the long term effects of heating the plastic up to remove scratches, but the short term results are remarkable...WAM

 

You can try wetsanding the scratches if you want the most economical way, the plastic renew also works well and runs $15-20 for a kit. The plastic renew will be a day long task though, and if you go riding through some brush or anything it has been known to flake off.

 

The blow torch trick works very well!!!

It even brings the color (red on mine) back.

I used some soapy water and 0000 steel wool first, then Meguirs cutting polish with a buffer, and then a light passover with the torch. Plastic looks like new.

Thanks for a great tip!

 

Platic Repair

 

it looks liek a lot of work.. Lol I dont even know if i should try.. Im thinking it will just get scratched even more later on since this will be a working bike..

 

I thought I read somewhere that some dude was using "Lemon pledge" and he preferred the "lemon"......Dunno how good it works though????[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]
