Removing scratches from plastics possible?
Recently bought the middle section from a classic to replace my already scratched one. However altho in better condition than my existing one still has a few marks on it.
Any suggestions appreciated

Any areas that are prone to wear will look like junk after a short bit of use. Try using synthetic steel wool. Take a small piece and gently rub in the direction of the scratch. ONLY on the scratch avoid the non-affected area. Never done this but many people swear by it.

This works !
Try plain old T - Cut and a clean cloth alternatively use Paint Compound Paste which is like T - Cut but with more grit.If your not able to get it through the trade Halfords/Motorworld do it.You will need lots of elbow grease if its deep but it will remove scratches.Only disadvantage is if you have to rub really hard is that the grain will become smoothed.This works really well on plastic thats clear as well without 'Fogging',if you have damage to your speedo clear front its amazing,but you need to have patience and elbow grease.Hope this helps you.

My advise is that u r the only one to judge if the scratches can be removed by rubbing them off or by using Compound and polish cream.....But if the scratches dont come off....u will have to re-paint them at a professional body shop painter....they will have to be re-sprayed indoors...so they dont catch any sand or particles from the air....and after spraying them....give them a plastic cover coat.....it is spraying a transparent layer of pait or coat onto the body after being sprayed, this will give you a protection cover to the paint job u have done, give it more than one coat.....leave at least 30 minutes between each coat of this plastic transparent protection coat.....it will give u a very clean and shinny look.....and u will be very satisfied by the feel when u touch it......
