Plastic polish
I had a small scratch on a side pannel. Wet sanded it out to 2000 Grit and I cant seam to bring out the factory shine with anything I've tryed. I do have a 7" car buffer to use and paint is not a good solution. Does anyone have a good product to use.
Meguiar's mirror glaze 7 is so-so Meguira's PlastX no effect. Meguira's Deepcrystal polish no effect. Brasso NO Toothpaste NO Mothers wax NO Boiled linseed oil / Paint thinner NO Heat Gun NO

Man did you mess up. lol I did the same thing on my Hawk when i first got it. I could't get it to shine again either. I ended up shooting it with clear. I never tried that again.

If you can find it (seems to be sold out most places currently), this stuff works great. At least it worked for me to restore years-in-the-sun UV damaged black plastic on some of my older bikes.

I’m almost convinced the color is molded in but the high shine comes from a gloss overcoat.

I use a buffing pad on the end of a drill for my visors. It removes 99% of the fine scratches. For lubricant I just use dish soap.
