Default Body Polish?

Hey guys I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to polish out small scratches from a body shell? ie is there a type of polish for bodyshells?

I've noticed that my Tamiya bodyshell scratches almost as easily as an ipod does (my HPI shell on the opther hand is tough as nails).

I dont mean scratches from crashes etc as I understand that some things you cant just polish out but all the little scratches from using a slightly rougher cloth for example.

if you use a high speed buffer with a soft head and lean hard on it, it will take most scratches out of plastic bodys. dont lean too hard tho cause youl burn the plastic, gives it a nice shine if done right.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Removes and Shines the shells nicely

Explain to me how you are suppose to polish out scratches when the paint is on the inside of the body?
