Here are the essential aspects of removing light scratches from car interior plastic:

Materials You'll Need:

* Soft, clean cloths * Rubbing compound * Scratch repair kit * Plastic polish * Water * Tape (optional)

Steps:

1. Clean the Surface: *

Start by cleaning the plastic surface with a soft, clean cloth and water to remove any dirt or debris.

2. Test the Rubbing Compound: *

Apply a small amount of rubbing compound to an inconspicuous area of the plastic surface.

Rub the compound in a circular motion with a soft cloth. This will help you determine if the rubbing compound is effective and will not damage the plastic.

3. Apply Rubbing Compound: *

If the rubbing compound is effective, apply it to the scratched area.

Rub the compound in a circular motion with a soft cloth. Use firm pressure, but be careful not to press too hard.

4. Buff the Scratches: *

Once the rubbing compound has been applied, buff the area with a clean, soft cloth.

Continue buffing until the scratches are no longer visible.

5. Use a Scratch Repair Kit: *

If the scratches are still visible after using rubbing compound, you can use a scratch repair kit.

Follow the instructions included with the kit to apply the repair solution and filler to the scratches.

6. Polish the Surface: *

Once the scratches have been filled, polish the area with plastic polish.

Apply the polish to a clean, soft cloth and rub it in a circular motion.
