Micro Scratches on the fairing
 
My bike spent the winter under a cover, and when I have taken it out all the black plastics look to be covered in micro scratches. The sort that you can't see unless the light catches it. When it does it looks like it has been polished with a brillo pad. Obviously made worse because the bike is black.

The question I have is there any product / Micro polish etc that I can use to get these out. I have tried T-Cut before and it is far far too abrasive and just creates similar scratches.

Help.

Looks exactly what I need. Question is it OK for bikes?

Have you used it before?

farecla is your friend.
Usually a bit of rub with Tcut and a good polish with something such as Autoglym super resin polish does the job.


Shiny shiny is my forte :)

Have you used a good quality polsih after using the tcut?

Yes T-Cut has made a bit of a dogs dinner of it all.

Some mild polish and apply some Carnauba Wax and will look better than when you bought it ... eBay Link
