Effervescent Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Very light use of rubbing compound followed by Pledge worked for me. -Eff Link to comment
Dan Gleebitz Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 I told the "Bread Knife" if she made the scuffs, she can polish them out ... all now fixed and she's a bit more careful now! Link to comment
russell_bynum Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Get her a bike of her own. Then she can scuff her own saddlebag lids instead of yours Link to comment
skinny_tom (aka boney) Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Get her a bike of her own. Then she can scuff her own saddlebag lids instead of yours IMHO, this is the best advice yet. You can borrow her bike too! Link to comment

John Dickens Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Following a 'discussion' with my wife and some serious research it turns out that at least half the scuff marks were caused by me! I now have some self adhesive protective film (carbon fibre in flexible plastic)over the area most likely to be damaged. Link to comment

I now have some self adhesive protective film (carbon fibre in flexible plastic)over the area most likely to be damaged. Being a short pudgy guy most of the scuff marks on my cases are mine too. Can you share some more info about this film? Link to comment
Reddog900 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I buff the marks out with Pledge furniture polish. Seems to work just fine. Link to comment
