Buffing Plastics, How?

[Hempfieldhunter]

So when removing graphics on my bike, I ripped the clear coat a little and out a few ver tiny gouges in it. I was wondering if I could "Buff" these out, with an abgle grinder and a polishing wheel? If so, how? Just any kind of compund will work? If I just walk in to harbor freight can they help me? Thanks!

Wet sand with 1500 then 2000 grit. Pick up some novus 3 stage plastic polish off eBay for $30 and go to town on it with your hands, no need for power tools.

I didn't even know they had a clear coat...but yeah Riderdie is right on. They arent painted so sand and buff.

I bought Novus 1 and 2 from HD and it was $6.95 per bottle. Is the 3 that much more?

FWIW, Cheapest way I found was off of Ebay as a Set of all 3 compounds for $13/shipped I believe.

Nope. Factory plastics aren't clear coated.
