Removing hairline scratches from simulated wood

[mcpp66]

Not sure if this is what you call simulated wood, but that's what I'm going to call it so here goes. I just bought a new 07 Impala and the simulated wood interior trim (surrounding the stereo, controls, and vents) has some hairline scratches in it. My fingernails don't catch so I'm assuming I can get those scratches out of there or make them less noticeable. I don't have pictures of them, what's in this thread is just a picture I grabbed off the web just to show you guys what I mean by simulated wood. Anyhow, is there anything I can use to polish out these scratches? I have Meguiar's Plastic Care, will that work?

Any finishing polish should be able to take care of that. I usually use menz 106.

I have M205 and 85RD, are those safe to use for this application? I take it the Meguiar's Plastic Care kit probably won't get it done for me?

Start with 85 and if that doesn't work 205 should be fine. I don't know what kit that is, but if you already have those polishes there is no need to buy another product.

Don't forget to mask off the interior vinyl/leather it will be a pain to remove the polish.

Once masked off, a polishing pal may prove to be useful with different aggressiveness of pads

Good idea, especially with po85 since it's purple and the interior on that car is very light!

I agree with the different pads, but I would think the polishing pal is just too big for most interior surfaces like this.

I was just going to do it by hand with some pinnacle and/or meguiars foam pads. Are you guys speaking of using Lake Country pads with a DA?
