How to Repair Damaged Car Plastic?

[StRuth]

Here are the methods to repair damaged car plastic: Minor Scratches: For more severe scratches where the underlying primer color is visible, the repair approach depends on the location of the damage. Generally, parts like bumpers, side mirrors, and some wheel arches are made of engineering plastic, which won't rust. Whether to repaint these areas is up to the owner's preference. Additionally, you can apply toothpaste gently to shallow scratches and wipe with a soft cotton cloth in a counterclockwise motion. Repeating this several times not only reduces the scratch but also protects the damaged paint from air erosion. Scratches Exposing Primer: Touch-up pens are available at most auto supply stores. Owners can purchase the correct color match by providing their car model and official color name. Before use, shake the touch-up pen well to mix the paint evenly. Carefully apply the paint along the direction of the scratch. Once the touched-up area is dry, apply fine wax to finish the repair.
