Removing scratches on interior plastics!
Hey guys its my first post so try not to rip me apart! I have had a few interior scratches in my 2012 RA all over the scuff plates and door from people not picking up their feet. So i checked through some of the forums and couldnt find a cheap way to remove the scratches. So through some digging on the interwebs i found that regular vaseline works really well on removing scratches. So i tried it. Its amazing for light scratches and makes deeper ones less noticeable. The way i did it was just rub small amounts over the scratches and then use a MF towel (wet) to wipe it off then dry with another MF towel!
So hope im posting this in the right place!

agh!
clean that vasaline off with wax remover!
take a sanding sponge and some 500 grit sandpaper
sand off scratches
buy a $6 can of black plasti-dip
recoat the panels
enjoy your like new panel
PS-really do scrub off the vasaline or you could have adhesion problems with the plasti-dip

Its been pretty good for a week so far (and over 30°C all week). But this isnt for deep scratches if i had some super unsightly scratches im sure i would go another route. Like i said though its just for the scuff plate area and one spot on the lower door.
