Title: remove plastic stains - scratches from tank
Post by: cmejia1978 on November 01, 2012, 03:37:23 PM
hi! I have a 2002 620ie; april I painted the whole tank and have been using this little bag around my waist which has a hard plastic clip; the thing is that, that particular clip has been scratching my tank, only superficial, NOT scratching like a metal scratch just the surface, actually the plastic has been like "painting" the surface and I would like to know which product I could use or method to get ride of those ugly scratches and revive my paint, please point a product on ebay which I could buy since I live outside the US but still could buy something on ebay and send it to miami, FL and from there to my country, thank you! already tried thick car wash and no can do...

I have removed stains like that with a polishing product - not the one in the link, but similar.

They are international - choose your country and find a dealer.

There is some rubbing compound in it, but not as much as in a pure rubbing cream.
I believe it will work on your stains and give a nice shine in the process.

Meguiar's makes full on rubbing compound too, so if that product doesn't do the trick you can get a little more aggressive.
