You can use the polish you get for restoring perspex or vinyl windows in convertables. It's a mildly abrasive cream to remove scratches. You can get plastic polishing kits too - type it in on ebay or google ;)

I have always used seapower which is a boat polish, works a treat and available from any decent boat chandler.
it can also be used as a wax coat for chrome and the rest of your bike  :daumenhoch:
