Default Scuff...

Hi there. Purchased my 2011 RK in September. Vivid Black. She's a beauty. Noticed some scuffs on one of the saddle bags....not sure if I'm the guilty party on that ()
Wondering what you'd recommend to fix/clean that up? It doesn't look too deep.
Anyone?
thanks!

You can try some polish by hand. Start with the least aggreasive; I am NOT TALKING ABOUT RUBBING COMPOUND. If the spots are very deep it will be easier with a orbital polisher. There are many different brands you can try Meguiars Scratch X or Swirl X, you can pick these up at Wal-mart or any parts store.
