Interior Plastic Scuff Suggestions

Hi All,

I scuffed the soft-touch finish off of this interior plastic piece and not sure how to go about repairing.

I would appreciate any suggestions.


All I could think of to do is try to use a black sharpie and smear it off to darken the spot a bit, then apply a coat of matte finish clear nail polish to prevent any spread of the damage.

Not sure how that would look though!

Some have used Plasti Dip to simulate the soft finish. Other options would be to scrub off the rest of the finish, smooth it out & wrap it or replace the part. Your plan will leave you disappointed, I'm afraid.

Try these guys, give them a call and ask what they'd recommend. I had bolster wear on my E46 (silver leather) and F23 (red leather) and they got me 3 products and now everything looks good as new. I assume you might be OK with just a bottle of top coat, but they're the experts so check with them before ordering.

Thanks - but I believe I was not clear -my leather is fine - it's the plastic door pocket of the drivers door - I have few scuff marks from getting in and out.

Yep - I understood would still given them a call. Short of replacing your door card maybe a cleaner they have with a satin top coat could work. At least they'll point you in the right direction.

Judicious use of a magic eraser might help the appearance. They are abrasive so use a light touch. I've used them wet.

Try this: https://www.verywellmind.com/ocd-self-help-2510625

But seriously, don't use a marker - the inks are actually a composite of many colors, and in the sun they separate out or degrade away and leave a weird, but brightly colored smear. Paint (or perhaps wax) would be a better option if you need to cover it.
