If you are going to ride you are going to scratch it,just the way it is. Call them battle scars,might make you feel better. I use Armor All,which don't get rid of scratches mind you, but it does hide them well.

Yeah armor all and simonz sprays really make the fenders look alot better and cover up the small scratches.

i know how you can get rid of them.....a blow torch, do it very lightly in a circlular or back and fourth motion 6-8 inches away from the scratch and you will watch them dissapear!

STP Sun of a Gun works great. It smells good too. You don't have to soak it down, just squirt a little on and then spread it out with a rag. It doesn't matter what color the plastic is, it will make it pretty. Do it everytime after you wash it, if you wash it often.

I seen a black Crappy and he put black vinyl on the fenders to keep it form scratching. And my friend has a CRF 450r bike and he used wide red electrical tape on the fenders.

They look good form afar. But in 5 years when take the chit off it will look like a new bike..
