How do you get scrathes out of vinyl heritage stripes?????

I have some pretty deep scratches in my heritage stripe kit.. They were dirty and some neighborhood kids did a number by drawing lines on them. It's pretty noticeable from the right angle.

Man with vinyl you might be up the creek on that. With scratches in clear coat and single stage paint polishing can reduce the depth of the scratch, but with vinyl I think it probably come down to replacement.

That really sucks man, but the kits are not horrible expensive for replacements.

You might be able to try a touch up paint if your really careful. Depends on if its all the way through down to the paint below.
