toothpaste huh ? i must try this because im so desperet with all those scratches and bike is soo young :/ i tryed car wax one time... didnt helped at all...

Yeah, me too, Im willing to try anything, even if this toothpaste is some kind of pratical joke you guys are gonna make fun of us about for years to come, I will take that risk!!

Although I must say, toothpaste does not sound like a very permanent solution, plus, your bike will smell like... toothpaste. LOL

Thnx though Captmoto!

please write a little review if operation with tooth paste succeed :)

most frustrating thing happened few days ago... i parked next to same black XT from 2007 and it was less scratched then mine 2009 >:( HOW!!! :( and believe me i take a really really god care of my bike :)

I have no time for practical jokes, toothpaste is designed to be mildly abrasive without scratching your teeth enamel which is why it is ideal for plastic, now when you see a response from me in future, remember I don't do practical jokes.

The Captain's right....tried some last night, didn't completely fix the problem but was better than anything else I've used. Thanks, Capt!

Captain is very right! I used to be a Technology teacher and used to do projects in acrylic. It has been known to send a pupil down to the Cookery dept to get some 'Cif' as this is very good to polish out marks in plastics and acrylics. Sailed a yacht over to Denmark to 'Swap' for the next size up! Spent time during the crossing polishing out marks on the GRP deck with toothpaste, brought it up like a new pin and it smelt good too!
Try a small amount on a clean cotton cloth, the idea is that you need to rub hard enough to create a small amount of heat and this will give you a brilliant polished finish. Good for alloy as well!:toothy9:
