its on the outer casing of the plastic, not scratches not sure how to explain it sort of has raised blotchy bits if that makes sense and a bit dis-coloured

It should come off with a good claying and a polish.

Have a look around the detailing section JPC has some pics of polished plastics in his threads and they clean up a treat.  :happy2:

If they are really bad you could wet sand them. I did mine a week ago and have been meaning to do a how to guide.
