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

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.

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!

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 >
