I like to use a soft horse-hair dusting brush to vacuum the dust off my vacs before putting them back in the closet. But this seems to leave patterns of hairline scratches on any lightweight plastic surface used by vacmakers theses days. It's happened on a Kenmore Progressive, an Electrolux UltraSilencer Green and on my new Mango Red Miele S2120.

Is there any polish or cleaner I can use to remove or hide these scratches? I don't want the vacs to have any sticky residue on their bodies that can get on my clothes, though.

You don't really see the hairline marks unless you look up close, but still...I am unhappy about marring the bodies of these new vacs.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Search plastic polish. The sky's the limit, it becomes a matter of how much you want to spend. Try zaino store.com they have a plastic polish that's really good.

No prob. I'm crazy about keeping things scratch free

I use Lemon Pledge and a nice soft thoroughly worn out cotton undershirt to dust and polish my vacuums (and motorcycles, and helmet face shields). Pledge helps hide all kinds of little scratches.

You can sometimes polish shallow scratches out with very fine grit automotive polish followed by a good carnuba car wax.
