Scratched up plactics

[04ShEeLE]

Does anyone know how to "repair" scratched plastics? Would sanding it down and ending with like a 220 grit do the trick? What are your thoughts?

spray it down with finish 2000 it wont fix the scratches but it sure hides them well

these are some pretty deep scratches, you know the ones you get when a bike might tumble down a hill once!!!!!

Even 2000 grit leaves plastics looking dull. Rocky Mountain sells this Plastic Renew kit that supposed to work well but takes some time.

plastic renew works well. i used it on my ky 500. after i was about half way done with the front fender i just went out and bought a new one because it was taking sooo long. i get impattient some times. and the new fenders were only 20 buck for that thing. so if you have the time and pattience and don't wanna spend a couple of hundred bucks. its probably just wat your looking for.

if you know anyone with a bead blaster it takes all the scratches off but dulls plastic. paint em man and it will look sweet mine did. if i had a camera i would post pics. i thought about buying some of ebay and re doing them, mine were thrashed ive decided to get new since i rebuit my bike ground up good luck man!

I spray son of a gun cleaner/protector on mine and it does help with making it look like new.

what I do is just spray it all over and then leave it there to soak in. every couple of days i spray more on it and then before i go riding i wipe it off and man! it looks great..
