    How to Remove Scratches on Car

    I found a pretty good way to remove severe scratches from the plastic of the vehicle or anywhere else.

    I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle with bare plastic body panels. They've generally been painted. What kind of vehicle is this?

    If it has plastic panels the vehicle isn't even worth the effort to repair, it My moto made of steel, or it isn't real.
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    It would be nice. Unfortunately I live in the rust belt. Everything made of metal turned to dust 20 years ago. Vehicles last 8 years here if you don't undercoat them religiously.

    Where I live if you don't keep the plastic cars protected at all times from the sun they turn to dust the low humidity and UV is as much a killer as salt air and high humidity maybe they should just make them out of dust and save the agony of having to watch the vehicles self destruct. I bought a couple vehicles a few years ago for parts but I can't store everything inside of buildings a while back I was needing something off of one of them most of the plastic inside and out is now so brittle it is useless and the wiring has deteriorated to be unusable grrrr/

    Removing scratches from my car, used as a van-a small car attracts less attention from thieves than a van-would take days!
