whats the best way to get rid of scratches and scuff marks on fairing with keeping the same finnish without getting re-sprayed? :)

well I'm no expert on bike finnishes but If its' like a cars' maybe T-cut or one of the available "scratch"removers would suffice,especially If the scuffs are not down to the plastic panels! I'm sure there's more knowledgable people on here to offer advice! ;)

In that case then those"cutters" will not suffice.Sorry to hear that mate. :(

What about"plastic padding",the filler? Unfortunately you will end up having to use a touch up spray in the end! :-/

Get a really good insurance cover for an agreed amount and torch it [smiley=thumbsup.gif] problem solved

Custom paint job, all over :)

basically, you're going to have to live with it - if it's deeper than lacquer then it's either repaint & decals (very expensive) or a new panel (if you can get one - and that'll be mega £'s)

I've had some quite good success with 'Greygate Plastic Polish'. It's basically what we use in the RAF on aircraft transpanrencies and canopies.

I used it on my last bike and a friends and it managed to remove over 90% of the scuffs & small scratches that we had. 8-)
