Super sorry that you scratched up your car! Luckily, though, you have several options to fix the scratch, depending on how severe it is:
  • Use heat gun and grain pad to fix the scratch
  • Use a grain pad with filler putty
  • Use a plastic scratch polish kit
Any of these methods should fix up your plastic scratches, as well as improve or maintain the

of the car!
