I bought an xr350 this weekend and the guy said he had just installed new tank decals on it, and of course theyre starting to bubble since the tank is plastic. I was thinking about removing the decals but noticed he had scratched up the tank in the area of the decals when he was removing the originals. So i was just wondering what the easiest way was to get rid of the scratches? polish, buff, etc? Im not trying to redo the whole tank or make it look mint, just the small spaces on each side...

If they are light, polish it with microfinishing compound. If they are heavy, wet sand with 600,1000, and then 1200 grit paper first.

Has anyone ever dealt with this stuff?
