Vinyl scratches?

[Papa Lazarou]

Anyone know a good easy way to get rid of scratches on the interior plastics, or at least make them less noticable?

Would a going over with fine sandpaper do it or would that make it look worse?

Sand paper not a good idea methinks.

You can get various dressings that work in a similar way to rubber dressing in that they make everything else shine so much you can't see the scratches. They do fill the scratches a little too.

Stuff I use is called vinyl gel, but I borrow that from my local garage http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Not sure about retail stuff.

I'll check out Halfords and see if they got anything like that then! Thanks

If you've got problems with the panels in the centre console, I could sell you a full set of 3 for £50! http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif

Those cheap plastics sure do scratch easily. I scratched mine by leaving the radio panel hanging down the left side and the clip scratched it - arse!

Try black marker pen then a local dose of silicone polish or tyre black. Don't silicone the whole dash as it's nasty stuff!

Thanks for the kind offer Geoff, but I think I'll try and clean up my one first. I would be interested in a DIN blanking plate in black though if you have one going. And a complete ciggie lighter (some bleeder removed it leaving a hole in my dash http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/confused.gif )

Guys,

My comment was a bit of a wind up to Dreadly (hence his rolley eyes), who's just sold the three panels mentioned, for considerably less than the £50 I was asking for them. http://300zx.co.uk/200sx/ubb/smile.gif
I already have a complete dash, but was thinking of brightening it up a bit, after looking at the prices and quality of those tacky stick-on dash kits I thought I'd try my hand at spraying the centre panels either in silver/titanium colour, or maybe even bodycolour. To avoid the risk of cacking up my dash irreversably I decided to get this second set to try on.

£50 is cheap....

As always on a side note.

Anyone come in to contact with one of the current style (s14a shape) stearing wheels with the built in audio controls and know how the audio controls are attached to the wheel / Could they be fitted to a 200sx wheel?

If you are talking about the factory fitted remote Sony system, the stereo controls were mounted on the steering column, not the wheel, and fixed to the left hand side, behind/below the indicator.
