    light scratches in clearcoat

    if I have some light scratches on my factory tank will I be able to buff them out? 1983 gs750e. Is there a clearcoat on this tank?

    Probably has clearcoat.
    A light polishing compound should get most of it out. There are some pricier ones but the withe turtle wax offering has always been good enough for me. I think they make a aste and a more liquid variety. The liquid seems easier to work with at least by hand.

        watch some youtube vids to get proper technique.
        I would do it by hand hard to damage things that way.
        Als be super careful on any ridges or seams of decals etc as you could burn through

            Use a plexiglass polish it works great on light scratches in paint and clear coat finishes.
