Getting scratches out of plastic?
Discussion
I have an EP3 Civic, the previous owners must have carried loose bricks or something around the boot by the looks of it, so the boot plastic panels have plenty of marks and scratches, which upsets my OCD greatly.
I know I can scavenge bits from cars that are being broken but its a fair bit of work swapping all the bits, plus it will cost a good amount for all the parts I need. I want to avoid this if I can.
With the panels I have theres nothing to lose by trying to get rid of the marks myself first.
So whats the best way? Sanding the marks with fine paper then heating the plastic with a heat gun?
Sanding then spraying with black paint? Just using a heat gun? Boot polish?!
Maybe there are repair kits out there that you have tried, if so let me know!
