How to Remove Scratches on Motorcycle Plastic?

Use a mild polishing method for sanding, which involves smoothing out the surface to eliminate previously noticeable marks. Apply an appropriate amount of toothpaste on a damp cloth and vigorously rub it back and forth over the scratched area until the marks disappear.

I've dealt with scratches on the plastic parts of this motorcycle many times before. For minor scratches, you can use a heat gun to gently warm them from a distance to avoid warping. Wait until the plastic softens, and the scratches will become less noticeable. After heating, simply wipe it clean with a soft cloth. For deeper scratches, use 2000-grit sandpaper with water to lightly sand until the surface turns white, then apply plastic repair paste. Once dry, the polishing effect is quite good. If all else fails, spend a few dozen yuan on a can of spray paint—just remember to mask other areas with painter's tape before spraying. However, DIY spraying often results in slight color differences. For higher standards, it's more reliable to have a professional handle the paint repair. Lastly, after repairs, it's best to regularly wipe the plastic with a plastic conditioner to slow aging and prevent new scratches.
