I went to sturgis with a tank bag that has magnetic base. I got some light scratches in the clear from the corners of the bag. grrrrrrrr

I was wondering what I should use to try and polish them out?

It's the clear coat over black....... I love black but it sure shows all the chit.

I'm thinking this winter I will just take the tank off.
Is there a good scratch remover system that someone has used with success?

Was even thinking of 1500 grit wet dry and have someone just shoot the clear again????????????

That is probably the best solution EZGZ....I love Vivid Black too but I got Black Pearl last time around because of the scratch swirls that show up so Eazily Geazily...LOL

On my last bike I tried the HD Scratch and Swirl Remover and had little success.....what really worked the best for me was a wax called Zymol.
part of the process of buffing this wax is to mist it with cold water just before the final buff to "set" the wax. I have yet to find another wax that shines and performs like this stuff. I think it actually fills the scratches with a polymer of some type.

give it a try before you pull that tank off....

I have been using Zymol on cages for years. Good stuff.
