Thread: restoring plastic interior trim

Thanks Pat. I am pretty sure that outer layer will come right off when I hit it with the scotch pad. They are pretty dry. Is there any reason to sand versus use a scotch pad? Is the scotch pad just easier (less damaging) on the plastic?

When you guys apply this stuff, do you dye or paint afterwards? I have never used the dye so I dont know much about it.

yes it is paint if it is that dry then just try shooting them i think it mite be to late to try to save them. sanding it will not help much on the bond you are looking for a chemical bond the color is made in to the part so there is no dye and some have release right in the part so you do not want to cut in to deep with sanding .washing good and using scrubbing pad. to get any thing off the top layer like i said they make plastic prep. you need to make sure all dirt and oils are off it and use a poly-cracker or spic-span soap you need this clean
