Default Seat scuff marks :-(

Just bought a Brawler seat for my street glide. The OEM seat left a few scuff marks on my rear fender. I've only tried to wax it off so far. No go. What do I have to do to remove it?

Maguires makes a product called scratch x. Works great for this. Had to do it on my Ultra Llimited's side covers. Works like a charm.

anyone swapping to smaller seat should look at the rear fender first.

I agree it can get pretty ugly under there. I ride solo 98% of the time and when the wife goes I slap on some 3M film that I cut into the correct size and peel it of everytime I come home and go back to solo.

I've removed some pretty serious scuffing with 3M Imperial Hand Glaze 05990. Rub hard and you will love the results. I always keep some in my cabinet.

P.S. I lived 30 years in Louisville before moving south. Great place. Go Cards!

Louisville isn't bad. Lived here my whole life. You got the GO CARDS exactly right. No KY Wildcats for me!
