    Any advice regarding buffing scratches from plastics?

    Looking for some advice about buffing shallow scratches/scrapes out of some plastics.

    Anyone got any tips or tricks they've used with success?

    Cheers

    Depends on the type of plastic abs/acrilics is harder then HDPE so polishes up pritty easy with wet n dry , HDPE goes a little string like I've seen a bloke rub out a scratch with wet n dry then heat polish the surface. Looked like it took more "artistic tallent" than skill to get it just right. But never tryed it myself.

    The obvious answer is take them off and put them in the bin

    autosol is to course for paint work.

    More info needed and maybe some images

    If its in the actual paint work and they arnt to deep they should come out - but factories only put 1 coat of clear on.

    If its in just black plactis that's different.

    More info and images!!
