#96460, "gettign rid of scratches"


          

Friend of mine owns a 96 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS and he has some scratches on his black dash, he wants to know the best way to get them out, or at least less noticible. The scratch is about 10 inches long probabally from his phone he said. One guy sugested using a heat gun slowly and wave it over till it blends, and another said try a polishing compound. I know our dash's are synthetic leather. Thanks!

back dash? if by any chance u mean a center console, just get another one, other than that, if its actually on the dash, i dk about exposing it to extreme heat....

Wow. Be patient. It has been all of 6 hours since your post. Not exactly a situation worthy of a bump.

i dont think u can completely take out scratches on the vinyl, theyre in the texture at that point

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.

Heat will probably not work, it sits out in the sun all day anyways and bakes to damn hot temps, how would a heat gun be any different?

BTW stop bumping your thread.
