i know many out there that have those fine scratches in your clear coat. especially if its black. here is you a tip on getting it looking pristine again. get you some diamond lapping film.easy to find online but not so easy at retail stores. get the green, beige or yellow and after a good wash just rub the scratches away. dont expect it to just be a thirty minute job.but your bike will have none of the improperties that keeps it from shining. this film is used in fiber optics and relative to sandpaper only its grit is anywhere from 25000 up to 100000 grit. multiple uses out of one piece and it will not leave scrathes in paint or clear coat. can even use it to get scratches out of glass should you need it for that. ive spoken to painters that have never heard of this why idk. but it shocked me when i first saw it used. some cool shit
