my buddy uses turtle wax scratch remover on his harley, i borrowed it to try on a few small scratches on my bike (black) and it took them out right away.... not prfect but atleast it didn't hurt my bike any more.

Being that our bikes are not show pieces and judging from your avatar, you have one of the most revealing colors there is...there will be no magic product to remove the scratches, so maybe some day you'll come to terms with this and ride and smile...once you drop your precious baby on the ground, you'll learn to accept her...scratches and all.

Yeah..definitely not show bike but i noticed some scratches in the front cowl after waxing all the plastic the other day.Just wanted to know if there was a miracle wax out there..ill try the mentioned Turtle Wax and maybe a high speed car buffer....see where that leads...its simply cosmetic i guess.

Are plastics different then a car paint or something? Every black gets swirl marks and are real easy to get rid of them or make them not visible

Mothers Sealer and Glaze works awesome!!! I recommend it, after trying a bunch of different kinds. No swirls or anything. Waxing is like anything else... It's all in the tecnique.

What about using Honda Polish instead of wax?
