Hi, on my YZ 125, I have scrapes and scratches on my front fender, rear, and the shrouds. Does anyone know of a way to get rid of these marks? I would just look to make my fenders look better, without having to pay a lot of $money$. Any replies are very appreiciative.
-Thanks

Sand down the scratches with 600-800 grit paper and then use Mop-n-Glow or Futura floor wax and they will look brand new.

Plastic renew works, but if you do not follow the steps exactly or have ALOT of time, then don't even bother. It tool me 10 hours total for my fenders, but they look better than new.

10 hours?? How many bikes did you do?
I can do my fenders in 30-45 minutes and they look as good as new.

I used 6 grits of sandpaper and put about 20 coats of plastic renew on. I can do it fairly quickly if I want to, but I really wanted them to be like new. They also had deep gouges in them. Take a cheese grater to your fenders and you will know what mine look like before I renew them. :p
