Removing scratches in plastic trim

**k80** · 12-13-2005, 01:38 AM

A work college just called as his Freelander was involved in a supermarket bump at the weekend. Another vehicle has scratched the front right corner of the plastic bumper. He asked if I could help him out, I said I would have a go but not sure how successfull scratch removal on plastic would be.

I have a couple of ideas on my attack been:

PC 4" Spot Pad - SSR Range but which?

W&D - but what to bring the gloss back? The W&D may remove the textured finish in the plastic though

Meguiars PlastX

Hide with a plastic dressing

Has anybody ever carried out anything like the above and what would be peoples opinions on how to complete the task?

I` ll watch this carefully cause I have a similar problem with the passenger side inner door panel, right on the grainy plastic trim, as though some metal scraped against it. I thought of using a very fine "emery paper" on it but then I dared not doing anything before I asekd you guys... (Pics to follow shortly)

waiting for a reply here also. I`ve got a customer with some scratches in the plastic door panel of her expedition and she wants them out. I`ve refused to touch them so far because I dont want to polish off the textured finish of the plastic. Suggestions please?
