Door trim scratches

Postby GTB Liberty » Mon Jul 13, 2009 8:56 pm

Hi all,

For some reason the previous owners being the Subaru crew put light scratches into the lower front door trim , mainly passenger door. Any ideas how to remove?

It's beyond a scuff but is a shallow narrow scratchs.

Cheers

Clay bar? Would have thought that was a bit soft.

Hmmmm OK Ill give it a go though.

Are you talking the actual plastic door trim? Mine has the same if that is the case. If it is the trim then clay bar won't have much of an impact.

Clay bar won't do anything for scratched plastic. Best bet would be to get a plastic welder to recond them or fill and paint - there's quite a bit of new products on the market that is designed for plastic.

Try a google search for plastic repair kits or reconditioning kits.
