Inside door panel

[ckosiek]

Noticing some scuffing on my driver's side door panel (2013 Camaro), probably from the seat belt buckle and maybe my watch. Anything out there that could be used to remove, clean, and protect? Here are a few pics, I've used Pinnacle vinyl and rubber protectant on the area and they disappear... but reappear when the stuff dries.

Your limited to what you can do to restore plastic. If it is just a mark try cleaning it with steam or a diluted apc (All purpose cleaner). If the plastic is scuffed or scratched all you can do is dress the plastic. I use aerospace 303 to dress interiors and protect them. Hope this helps.

There were posts on a thread a while back saying people had some success using a heat gun to blend it in.

I have always had good luck with a heat gun to REDUCE scratches. I wouldn't try to melt the plastics so much to try and completely get rid of them though. Don't push the line type thing.

Haven't you seen the commercial for Detail Dr. with Danny the Count Koker? If that doesn't work you can try transmission fluid, or gasoline, maybe Amsoil has something??? Of course I'm kidding!!!

Best you van do is a damp magic eraser(any store brand or Mr.Clean) and a little APC like LATA or whatever you use to clean you tires will clean And smooth the plastic. Then use a coating like a GTechiq C4, or a trim protectant like Ultimate/WG Trim sealant. Using quality tire gel can help as well but may only last a week or two; or until it's rubbed off by whatever's doing the damage in the first place. I'll tell you, a client/friend of mine used mix of Mother's Back-to-black and black shoe polish on his newly purchased pre-owned tundra and it looked pretty good but will stay a little greasy to the touch and maybe glossier than you'd like. To cure the issue thouogh, so t doesn't keep occurring, you can apply mole skin or some stick-on Velcro pile to whatever's contacting the plactic.

The heat gun helped me bring my back bumper to life.
I could see it turn dark black as I heated it up.
However I never tried it on door panels, hoping someone has with good results?
