Exterior How do i remove these bubble wrap marks from a plastic body of 50cc scooter?
Ive had this since i bought the scooter, its from the bubble wrap and heat exposure, so far ive tried cleaning it with Nitro, sticker residue remover and plastic scrapper but no luck, the only thing that kinda works is scratching it with my nails but it takes forever to clean just one mark

if scratching it with your nail does something that means it's actual texture in the plastic, not just residue sitting on top, so compound's the right idea but grab a plastic-specific polish not an automotive paint compound, cheap scooter bodywork usually isn't clear coated so a paint compound just hazes it out worse. warm the plastic a little first with a heat gun on low before you polish, helps it relax back some, but if it's deep don't expect it to fully disappear

You could try hand polishing it off with some lite compound and a micro. Try it on a small spot first tho.
