Great job. It's the little things sometimes that get noticed the most.

Re: The Little Things What sets us apart as "Detailers"
Removing scratches from hard pebble grained plastic requires the gentle application of heat, followed quickly by a firm plastic putty knife
You can use a heat gun or even a long lighter
The interior surfaces can be easy or tricky
Many of the pieces can be removed, like the wood grained piece, others like the screen have to be polished in situ
Wood grain was clear coated, used my old PC, 3" Megs DAMF Cutting Pad and D300, speed 5. No finish polish was required
The screen was also done with the PC, Menz SI1500, 4" Lake Country White CCS, speed 4
When taping off interior trim for polishing make sure you clean off any dressing on surrounding area, so the tape will stick. If you are going to tape over any controls, make sure you "burn the tape" to make it less sticky. Tape slightly on to the surface you are polishing, you do not want to get polish into the space surrounding the piece as it is difficult to remove completely

Nice tips, sometimes I bypass these faults because a owner isn't aware of them, plus the tip on interior plastics I will try on my car (I am going out to buy a heat gun now).

Re: The Little Things What sets us apart as "Detailers"
Thank you very much for reply, however I'm not sure how this could work. I mean, after reading your answer, nothing changed... I'm brazilian and sometimes few more words are needed for my understanding.
Can you please describe a 'step-by-step' how to heat plastic and use a knife?
If you can share, of course! I'm really interested and any help will be highly appreciated.
Kind Regards.

Tato, you take a heat gun or even a hair dryer and CARRFULLY heat the scratched area (you'll see it get a little shiny that's when u know to stop) then just push that area with something, knife, ball, lighter but, anything that closely matches the grain or pattern will help
