Default Fairing Question?

I have a zzipper Fairing for my Stratus. The faing has a lot of scratches
from rolling it up for transport. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the
best way to remove the scratches and a better way to transport the fairing
so this does not happen again.Thanks
Harold

Zzipper sells plastic polish of the correct grade for removing small
scratches. You can also get Meguiar's products that do almost as well-
look for them at auto parts stores that carry a good selection of paint
& body supplies, or marine stores (boat windshields are often plastic)
or airplane supplies (aircraft also have plastic windshields).

I'm pretty sure Zzipper also sells a soft cloth bag for packing up the
fairing. You could also try rolling it up in a big towel.

Meguiar's Plastic Polish

That is the best solution along with a large microfiber cleaning
cloth, to maximize the polishing action. You can often buy a bundle of
the microfiber cloths at auto parts stores. It takes a lot of elbow
grease, but eventually, you can restore much of the clarity. Don't
expect miracles, though, as not all the deeper scratches will come out.
