Default Motorcycle Windshields

I was wondering if it's possible to buff out scratches in cycle windshields with the compounds sold here. And if so, what would be the procedure?

Thanks for any help on this subject!

Depends on how bad the scratches are. I have some on mine I haven't bothered with yet, but they would need to be sanded out they're so bad. If the scratches catch your fingernails you'll probably need to hand-sand them out first.

If your scratches aren't too bad you could probably use a string buffer and blue compound. Make sure you use a low speed motor (like a drill). Caswell or others might have a kit for plastic - check the buffing section of the website.
