JCWitney sells a polish for visors & other plexiglas-type stuff that works
very well for small scratches; actually any fine polish (Linde A or B, for
example) would do.  Perhaps larger scratches could be filled in by waxing
(auto wax) the plastic.  But of course, this is the reason replacement
visors are sold.

I have a BMW 60/7 that doesn't need much maintenance sinceI prefer to look
at it rather than ride it.  The BMW Owners' club used to have a terrific
maintenance section in its newsletter but the guy who was responsible for
it seems to have lost a political battle with the mangement (which seems
to be trying to turn the BMWOC and its magazine into some sort of
moto-business and CYCLE magazine)  and quit.  Thereupon I quit the club.
Probably the best bet would be to join the BMWOC, get a list of back
issues (with contents of the technical section) of the magazine, order
the ones you want, then quit.  

I really must say I admired Mr Okleshen, who did an enormous amount of
work on the BMW technical stuff for the OC.  He didn't stand for bull,
always was scientific (controlled experiments) in a sort of rough
way, and really cared about what he did.  His only problem was prolixity,
but a small price to pay.
