Scratches
 

Hello all,

I've noticed my nice new shiny black XT660X is gradually getting more and more scratches due to general use and cleaning?

Does anyone have any tips on buffing these out without causing a cloudy apprearance? or can anyone suggest suitable products to use?

Capt Moto's tip : Mr Sheen, or any other furniture polish. Sounds wierd I know but it does work :nod:

Maguires PlastX

This is truely the best stuff (on a sensible budget) that you can buy

Buy the scratch remover and the polish and a GOOD applicator (sponge to you or me) and you'll get bloody amazing results.

Mr Sheen will polish and make things look nice, same as many other products. (Tescos furniture polish is fine too) but will NOT remove suface scratches.

Anything 'Halfords' is generally better for drinking than it is for cleaning :)

Hi Weesky, I was really wanting to try this stuff out cause I got some deepish scratches on the plastics (sides of tank, grey), but reading on the site I get the impression this is for metals, see this quote from the site:

Where you reffering to using this on metal parts, or have you used this on the plastics as well?

Thanks,
Alex

damn it! !#$!@#$#@ I also have so many irritating scratches all around my black XTX bought in march that just show up from regular use >:( unbelievable!
ill try with polish that good ppl recommended.
google told me i could find Mr Sheen and Pledge (some one mentioned it before on forum) in lcoal stores :) so vote for your favorite coz no carlack 69 in game or other fancy things...

also "GOOD applicator" aka sponge is just regular kitchen one ? last thing i want to do is to make any new ones >:(

google lies! i cant find those brands anywhere :( ill have to go for some less popular :)

Used more than a few times on paintwork. Works lovely. Never tried it on XT type non painted plastics though.

The applicator sponge is like a very dense kitchen sponge. The density enables it to 'buff' better.
Also the size of the pores means it's better as it doesn't pick up the dirt as a normal sponge does.

OK, what we got so far is Mr Sheen and furniture polish are good for polishing, and that carlack68 stuff is good for scratches in metals.

A solution for scratches on plastic panels, anyone?
(aside from getting new panels)

if the scratch is not too deep toothpaste does a good job, use a wet microfiber cloth and a dab of toothpaste and rinse after for a new shine.
