Just received a red one this week (#288), and the body panels appear to be red plastic, and not painted. I may be a bit late asking this question so if this subject has been covered already, my apologies. Input from Ed at AF1 would be great.

I ask because I want to be sure as to how to treat the surface in removing scratches. Yes I have read the owner's manual, and know that it says not to use machine polishers.

Thanks,
Brian
