Default Removing Scratches or Scuffs from Plastic

A few weeks ago I'm sure I read a thread on how to remove scratches and scuff marks from plastic parts like door kick panels and dashboards. I know it's not really a C1 or C2 issue, since we don't have the same plastics as the modern cars but I'm sure it was in this forum since I don't visit any of the others.

I've searched the archives to no avail.

Can anyone link me to the thread, or give any insight on what products you use to remove these unsightly marks.

Thanks,

Dave.

Don't have a link, but I work with plexiglass frequently and can recommend Novis for serious results.

I don't have much experience with this but I have used the rattle can plastic flex agent used to make paint stick to flexible plastic. You can spray it on a damaged area and then wipe it before it dries. It'll put a shine back on the area and hide scuffs.

Proceed with caution if you try it. I guarantee nothing but it worked for me.

The Novis is great for polishing clear plexiglas.
