    Heavy scratches on plastic

    My neighbor just scraped her car in her garage, no dings, but it is scratched pretty good. I think a good cleaner will pull out a lot of the mess, but wondering, can you use a PC on the plastic panles or is it fiberglass, abs, or what? On a Monet Carlo, same paint as on metal, the lower bumper area. Suggestions?

    If the area is painted, then you can buff. Likely alot of the mess with come out with an abrasive polish and some time. She'll likely know its there, but most others wont once your done helping her.

    Cool, makes sense. I'll see what I can get out by hand, then go for it!
