Just got a new quad bike and I`m wondering about the plastics.
Is there any polish for light scratch`s and general cleaning?

What appearance do you want from the finished item....matt or gloss? I would go with products from Einszett or Chemical Guys and also look at Autoglym plastic and vinyl polish.

Zaino Plastic Magic is quality, but I also rate the Einzett stuff...

Tried the Meguires Plastx and not happy with the results.
The bike has high gloss red plastics and the above left it dull with fine scratches (tested on a small area).
I want to remove very fine scratches and leave it with a polished surface, any more ideas?

Try the Zaino Z-14 stuff honestly.

Megs Plastx and similar plastic polishes are for clear plastic like lenses or softop windows.

It's very difficult to remove these scratches by hand, Auto Glym and t-cut type products contain filers that give the impression of removal, only for them to re-appear after a few washes.

Machine polishing will ensure they are removed. A polish such as Sonus SFX1 or 2 would be a good attack.
