Black interior plastic trim scratches
Posted: Sun Sep 18, 2011 5:21 pm
I've got a four month old kizashi with black interior and there's a fair amount of scratches on some interior plastic panels. The particular areas I'm worried about are the lower door cup holder areas that careless passengers always hit with the front of their shoes when they get out. The glove box as well recently got scratched by my friends bag.
Suzuki let alone Kizashi OEM parts seem to be hard enough to find. I found these online stores that sell them though:

I'm not an OCD owner and I know scratches on the door sill plates and those areas are inevitable. I just want to prevent scratches to places that are preventable. A replacement glove box lid, which in the kizashi is basically the whole glove box assembly, is 200+. I'm not going to pay this for a light scratch and there's no way I'm going to replace the door panels, which are basically the entire door...
A way to fix the scratches permanently would be good but I'm not about to try a heat gun on them. Anyway to cover them would be fine for me. Ie are there some types of black plastic polish or detailing agents? I'm not really sure if stuff like ArmorAll protectent does this or if its just clear... I might try black sharpie but the kizashi black plastics are not really that black.
