Re: Removing Interior scratches!!

there is very little you can do with scratches on plastic, but scrapyards are a good place to source unscratched replacements for cheap

You could spray the interior, or cover with fabric etc. But as jug says scrap yards are easy for replacements.

I heard that quickly going over the area with a heat gun can work. Just go slowly as too much heat is obviously bad!
