I used to be a big plastic model kit maker; if you got the canopies scratched, toothpaste was the only way to sort it out. I just extended it a bit when I started playing with "Boys Toys" (Motorbikes) and found it was still relevant.

I am even using smoker's toothpaste to get scratches out of my windscreens and remove road film from paintwork. Works a treat, and it's a lot cheaper than proprietary rubbing compounds.
