    Default Requesting some ideas on removing skuff marks.

    When I swing my big feet over the seat, I sometimes skuff then handles and rear saddlebags on my RT.
    I have tried using cleaner, black plastic polish etc. but the skuff marks just fade a bit, I can still see them.
    Any clever spyder ridder have a home remedy to clean up these marks? (I like the peanut butter fix for white polish marks on black plastic)

    you might want to try Magic Eraser (mr Clean)
    rinse completely when done.
    I also used to use Turtle Wax. It seems to have just the right amount of abrasive in it.
    I'm also a lot more careful in my doddering age. Happy Rydes to you.

    I occasionally find small black heel scuff marks on my rear side panels just above the floorboards that come off easily using Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax. Try the BMW GS Adventure rider's trick, grab your leg just above the ankle and help it over the seat, or use a passenger footrest when you mount or dismount.

    otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

    Default 409

    Try 409. I have a detail business and my go to is 409. It does not take care of everything but removes more than you think. I also use this to remove bugs and it works like a champ.

    I would be careful with Magic Eraser; puts hairline scratches on black finishes. I use "goof off" tar remover to remove any black rubber marks, then follow up with Meguires car polish.

    Default Scratches?

    I use Meguiars Clear Plastic Polish #10. I have used this on my Goldwing and also my Spyder windshield to remove scratches. Works GREAT. Good luck.
