How to Repair Damaged Car Plastic?

[MiguelLynn]

Here are the methods to repair damaged car plastic: 1. Minor scratches: For slightly more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the repair approach depends on the location of the damage. Typically, areas like the bumper, rearview mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic and won't rust, so whether to repaint depends on the owner's preference. Additionally, you can gently apply toothpaste to shallow scratches and then wipe counterclockwise with a soft cotton cloth. Repeating this several times not only reduces the scratches but also prevents air from corroding the damaged paint. 2. Scratches exposing the primer: Touch-up pens are available at most auto parts stores. Owners can purchase the correct color by providing their car model and the official color name. Before use, shake the touch-up pen well, then carefully apply the paint along the direction of the scratch. Once the touched-up area is dry, apply fine wax to finish the repair.
