Anyone know of or is there a product out there that can remove or take the bad look of scratches on the interior trim? [b |

Same here. Especially the back area 3rd row seats of Grand Picasso due to items and the wonderful grand kids buckles and shoes. Was looking on fleabay for some kind of self adhesive felt/carpet to protect in future. Have tried silicone sprays and the like but soon comes back. Any ideas |

Sent an email to the company with the above photos. Got an email back saying their polishes would not take out the scratches. Will keep looking to see if I can find something. |

A long time ago I worked for a company that refurbished products that had plastic panels. With careful use of a hot air gun on a low setting, such as a paint stripper type, small scratches just vanished completely. Hold the air gun 10-12 inches away constantly moving back and forwards, and use a nozzle that directs the hot air onto the affected area. |

Hot air paint strippers are very fierce - start with a hair dryer. |

Any polish action or polishes will remove the grain effect moulded into the surface. You could try a gentle heat but again you run the risk of damaging the grain. A Matt finish dash cleaner or AG Bumper Trim Cleaner (Green Label) will hide it, otherwise its a new panel I think. |

Thanks for the advice everyone. Think I will try the trim cleaner first to see if it helps. I think it would be a last resort for me to use a heat gun/hair dryer, I would probably only make it worse. Anyone got an old motor I could practise on. |
