I have a black 4-wheeler with a lot of scratches. Is there anything that can remove the scratches or make them not so noticeable?

whats the purpose of getting rid of the scratches on your four wheeler? You can tell how a person rides according the appearance of the bike... if it ain't scratched then you ain't riding!!!

Krylon fusion clear. Use a fine grit scotch pad to get the deep scratches out by wet sanding. Scuff all surfaces you intend to clear coat and clean with rubbing alcohol thouroughly. Clear coat the plastics to the shine you like and the clear resists scratches from brush better than plastics.

I wonder how well that will work on the black soft fenders (like on my Rincon)?
