Surface scratches

[RiverRat]

I have minor circular scratches in my plastics where I’ve put the tank bag on. They’re not deep at all was just wondering about a solution to fix this with out buying new plastics. Can you buff them out on plastic?

The painted plastic tank panels?

 

[RiverRat]

Yes. There’s little scuffs or scratches or something where the tank bag has been sitting. I’ve since takin it off because I don’t want it to get worse

I have used Rubbing Compound on my motorcycles and cars very successfully for minor scratches. Just take it easy using a circular motion with a clean microfiber cloth. Do a little, wipe off and repeat if necessary. Don’t push down too hard especially on edges. Your scratches are probably just in the clear coat not the actual paint.

This is what I use....

Awesome. Thank you I’ll give it a try.
