Default Minor Scratches

Anyone know of a good product(s) to use on the fairings to get some minor scratches out?

Meguiar's makes plastic refinishing products. I use the clear plastic polish, and I love it.

Thanks Guys. I will check it out. Anyone know besides the Stealer where to get some of the plastic clips that holds the plastic together (Push pin type). I need a few of those as well as a new plastic screw on the bottom rear that holds the plastic together. I will post pictures if anyone is lost on what I need.

Try this place the clip link. The largest one I saw was 8mm I'm not sure how big the hole is. What you are looking for is called a "push in retainer" (most of the time).

Good link shino
I always called them plastic rivets, but I think we are all on the same page here.
I am not sure on the size required though. I am assuming for the lowers and possibly the upper fairing? BigO

Yeah that is what I am looking for, Thanks Shino.

Yeah Drag what I am looking for is the riviets for the tail section on my 04 636 as well as the rivets that hold the left and right side of the fairing together from underneath.

Well the good news is I got my bonus from work so now I can get more stuff for the bike. Need to get some stands, Integrated Tail Light, and some new slim blinkers to get ride of those bulky stock ones. This will alaso be a good time to measure the diameter of the holes for the rivets.
