Hi Nori...
               I was looking on line and found this... and thought I would give it a try...

I also, read somewhere that someone that buys and sells scooters uses this for scratches..

Run your finger nails on the scratch... if you can feel it, the scratch is too deep for any scratch-out product.... Scratch out products are good for light scratches and swirl marks.

You can use this or a similar product.... it's a filler, it fills the deep scratch and you polish afterwards...

Depending on the scratch. Very fine scratches can be buffed out with regular white toothpaste.
If, like Vivo says, you can feel them with your fingernails, the scratch needs to be filled in. When my car was "keyed" few years ago I bought small can of paint in the right colour, filled up the scratch until it was higher than the original paint, then I scraped it even with a razor blade and finally buffed it out.
If you have deep scratches in unpainted plastic/steel, a sandpaper is your friend. Start with around 400 and end with 1000. For very deep scratches or cracks in plastic fill them up with material similar to this two part repair material. http://www.wurth.co.uk/product/replastkit (This is professional product and devilishly expensive. Very likely not worth buying to repair just one body panel.)

Hi guys, i'm new to this site. 

I recommend purchasing Motul Shine and Go for bikes and scooters.  It prevents dirt from sticking to your scoot and prevents scratching too.  I washed my old scooter and applied it.  It even prevent tree sap from sticking hard on the scooter.  First thing I did when I got my new Super 8 last night was wash it and sprayed a layer to prevent any scratching to the foot panel area.  The only down side to this spray is it does make your foot panel area a bit slippery since its silicone based spray.  I've noticed when riding, bugs just simply bounce off the front instead of splatter and harden on the scoot which makes it easy to wipe off.

Sorry I know this is not a solution to remove scratches and paint but its a solution to prevent.
I hope this info can help some of you that are newbs like me.

I like everyone's recommendations. You can score a new panel for fairly short money from Kymco. You need to score some new logo's as well. Kymco parts aren't that expensive.
