Help To Remove Scratches Off The Paint And Plastics (Brake Lights)

[gayanW]

Hi all,

There are scratches on my vehicle and some of them are bit prominent on the brake lights ( due to minor reversing accident!) These are not all that deep but minor scrapes in the area. As the vehicle body paint is black, event the minor scratches are somewhat clearly visible.

Can you suggest a solution / place to remove these? i'm more worried about Scratches in the break lights! ... btw are garages that are specialized in body paint work capable of removing the scratches on the lights as well?

Many Thanks guys!

Try using a bit of rubbing compund, 3m based if feasible or a cheaper one such as Vcut / Super cut etc.

Apply mild pressure, don't over-do it as you can cut through the clearcoat into paint and so on, should be not more than a 1 min job, If you see bare metal or primer in the scratch, This won't help,

Works on lights a bit as well.

Go through the Headlight restoration post on the DIY section by jdnet, those methods may help.
