Fixing scuffs with a Question

[Ransom]

So My God-daughter wanted to help me wash my motorcycle... Well, she meant well. She used the hard side of the spung and left some scuffs in the paint. I didn't get mad at her, she is 9, how could she know. So, it was time to learn how to get those scuffs out.

I came accross ScratchX 2.0. It worked great with my regular drill and a cotton buffer.

This is the before.

This is after one application.

After the second application it was barely there. And I couldn't be happier.

My question is, can I use headlight restoration on my black plastic fairings? The don't have the same shine they use to have and I want to wipe out any fogging.

Any input is welcome

you can use it to buff the panels just be careful at the edges your buffer can create alot of heat and we are talking about plastic.... :rockon: :rockon: Looks like it is working realy good for!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

It is thanks! I will give to plastic panels a soft touch attempt. I'll post pictures so you all can see if i made it better or just create some nice swirl patterns haha

Well, it worked wonders on the plastic front fairings!
I used some standard headlight cleaner with a soft foam buffer for a drill (came with it) and a few passes later this is what I got.

This is before(I know it's hard to see, but it is foggy)

And after with just one soft buff.

I used it on the wind screen too, but that won't really show up on this camera

I guess I should thank my God-daughter. Without her I would know how to do this stuff.

I have a bottle of that ScratchX I bought to remove a scuff on the tank that came with my bike when I bought it. That stuff is great. I used it to clean the oxidation off my cage's headlights as well as to polish fine scratches out of an old pair of glasses I dropped while wearing in the pool a few summers ago (they slid from the 5ft area down the slope of the deep end and had some nice horizontal scratches right in front of my pupils). I never thought about using it to remove the fine scrathches in my iPad, so +1 on the picture!

This is the stuff I used. You can puck this up at your local Walmart pretty cheap.

Don't forget to get some MiroFiber Towels!:thumbup:
