Default swirls in black headlight housing,black triple tree

Hey guys,

First post here, but alot of good stuff on the site posted by members has helped ALOT!!

After a few washes and cleans of the Black denim Streetbob i have noticed a few fine swirls and scratches in the black coated triple trees and black coated headlight housing. Nothing too serious, nothing to cry about either, but i was wondering the best way to remove them?

Am i wrong to assume these parts can be treated the same way as a vivd black paint work or clear coat? i.e. give it a rub with a scratch and swirl remover and a waxing?

Thanks for any advice.Chris
