Scratch removal - any tips?

Post by vic-vtrvfr » Fri Jun 29, 2012 10:32 am

One of the headlight lenses on my front fairing has some light surface scratches on the inside, and a white foggy appearance in one corner - kinda looks like condensation would do on a window.

Is it possible to remove this from a plastic lense or is it fecked?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated, as replacements arent available

Cheers folks
Vic

Cheers, thats great.
I'll get some of that ordered.
Im wondering if it'll also remove the scratches from the top of the Tyga carbon airbox lid i got.
Might be worth a try :)

most likley if there just fine scratches , i also used it on a crash helmet before and it worked a treat its well worth a try , it will come in handy at some point im sure ( i would test it first though )
