Default Polish for bare plastic??????

Ok, this is not car related but its for the plastics on my bike. Its bare blue plastic and has a few minor scuffs and some very fine marks/scratches.

Is there a plastic polish that i can use to get these out and still keep a nice shine? Or is there a good method i could use to get rid of these?

I realise i could flat them down but obviously i would have dull patches so would need something to bring it back to a shine if possibe. Im assuming there will actually be an abrasive product specifically for this maybe?

Thanks, Rich.

Hi mate, yes ive just had the meguires plastx suggested to me in GD, but if you say its no good for it then ill not bother. I might try flatting the reverse side down and giving it a mop to see how it turns out.

Let me know how you get on mate and ill do the same.

duraglit used to do a plastic polish for plastic and glass similar to the kits you can buy in mobile phone shops to polish out scratches in phone fronts etc.

Cheers
