I have some annoying small scratches which really show up on the black tank. The bike is only a few days old and yet everything that touches it seems to leave those horrible annoying little scouring marks. I am scared of using T-cut because it isnt designed for plastic but what is the alternative or will T-cut not harm the plastic? Please I am getting really peeeeeeed about these scratches.

 

Try using Armor-All or similar protectant on the finish...These are made for plastic and rubber...I use it all over my fairings.

Thanks for your reply will that get the scratches out or just prevent more from appearing?

 

Meguiars #7 or #9 will take out swirl marks...try either one of these if the protectants don't work.

Cheers I will try that and yes nice cans.

 

Haha, that's the best post I've read in a few days. hahahaha

 

Well I've tried all the stuff on the market in the UK today. I would have been cheaper buying a new tank lol. The swirls are fading but I think its time to stop being so **** and get on the sodding thing and ride it instead of worrying about the scratches. By the way none of the 'soft cut' 'colour match' turtle wax superdooperturboscratchremovingmiraclecream worked with write home about results. So I am gonna have some cold beer and wait til my vision blurs enough that I cant see the scratches. And..........they are great cans arent they.
