How to Deal with Scratches on the Black Plastic Skirt of a Car?
2 Answers
Clean the area of the black plastic bumper that needs repair with water. After wetting the sandpaper, sand the scratched and burred area until it is smooth. After sanding, wipe the repaired area clean with a dry cloth or paper towel, and apply tape around the repair area to avoid affecting other parts. Use a sponge soaked with scratch remover wax to repeatedly rub the scratched area in circular motions until the scratch is removed.
I noticed some scratches on the black plastic skirt of my car a while ago, which looked quite unpleasant, so I decided to fix it myself. First, I cleaned the entire skirt with mild car shampoo to ensure there was no dust. Then, I used a clean cloth dipped in alcohol to gently wipe away any stains. For the scratches that weren't too deep, I applied a specialized automotive plastic repair paste, spreading it evenly with a soft cloth and polishing it slowly. After it dried, the color was almost restored to its original state, and the scratches were hardly noticeable. If you don't have repair paste, you can try using a heat gun or hairdryer to gently warm the plastic, which helps it expand slightly and fill in the scratches. The key is to handle it gently and avoid applying too much pressure to prevent further damage. This simple method is perfect for everyday car owners like me—I spent just half an hour on a weekend, costing less than 20 yuan, and my car looks much cleaner now.
