some 3m finish restorer compound, keep rubbing it in circles...its got very, very fine grains of abrasive in it, it should clear em up for the most part.

spartanman, you really need to add some substance to your posts. simply agreeing with another member over a question that has already been answered, without actually adding anything meaningful to the conversation is spam. I have noticed this in a couple of different threads. Please consider this a written warning. Further action will be taken if your posting habits do not change for the better.

you can get it at wal-mart in the automotive department around the wax and stuff, its in a black bottle with a blue and purple label...it costs around $6 and itll last you a very long time. they also have it at automotive parts retailers like autozone, discount autoparts, oreileys and pepboys. it doesn't have to be the 3m one though, that's my personal preferance. if you cant find it, any "machine glaze" or fine polishing compound will work. if you want to, you can also try toothpaste, it's a little more harsh than the 3m stuff but it'll pull the scratches out. after you're done polishing with that stuff, wax it up with some regular car wax, this will get any little swirlmarks and discoloration out. (or make them less noticable anyway)

sounds a little harsh^^^ but what i used once was some all metal polish cuz i had to take a bunch of sticky sticker glue off and my dad who paints for the local harly dealer so i know what im talking about, he said anything that is patrolium based will work

What I do is,take a warm soapy rag,and rub the scuffed spot or spots(it depends on where and how deep the scuff is).sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt,but I dont really crash my xmods into anything..
