is there any way to remove scratches from vehicle inside plastics - Toyota Yaris Forums

I really hate the fact the most new cars now have all plastic interior, you cant even put coins or anything thats metal because it will scratch your inside plastics. Is there any way to make the scratches less noticable?

You can use some interior detailer like Meguiar's Natural Shine. It will add a slight gloss to your plastic parts but not that much. Very minor scratches might get more unnoticable but in the end .. scratched is scratched. There is only one way to get rid of them. Buy new parts or wrap them in 3M "carbon fibre" or something similar.

In my opinion the Yaris got very low quality plastics inside. Some of them get scratched if i only look at them.

My former cars did not have that problem.

We sublet all our interior work. The trim comes back flawless.

As far as a DIY, i'm sure you could sand it down and paint it yourself, but after you mess it up a few times or find the color doesn't match, you'll be wishing you just took it to a body shop.
