i know a heat gun very lightly used will get white creases out and some minor scratches. but don't put to much heat. i use it on my grizzly.

Yep. I use a butane torch on our plastic bumpers here at the shop. The only thing is, you better darn sure be aware of how much heat you are using or those scratches will be the least of your concerns!

I keep mine sprayed down with WD-40.. That usually "hides" the scratches.

WD40 is good but it puts your decals at more risk for coming off. go to an ATV shop theyll have some stuff to use. I can't think of the name off hand but our local shop had some stuff in a spray can that made my bike look better than the day I bought it. not real expensive either. It smelled really good kinda like berries.
