What are you using to touch up a scratch on the black interior plastic. Not the piano black but something like the door panels?

I'll be following this to see if anyone has a good method for blending actual scratches... but in the meantime, I use only lemon Pledge on all of my interior and exterior plastic trim.

One method is to create your own texture tool using dent pull hot glue. Then use some filler material or just light sanding and spray paint.

I used Rust-Oleum Flat Black to re-paint the center console on my 350Z not too long ago. It came out a little on the shiny side compared to OE finish but it worked well enough.

Does the pledge help hide the whitish scuff marks on the dark interior plastic?

A little, I think. I’ve got some scratches in the back where my golf bag resides most of the time, and I haven’t really gone at that area yet with Pledge. But short of deep scratches, Pledge shines and protects unlike ArmorAll or any of that other back-to-black crap.

Follow-up: Pledge doesn't do much for the appearance of deeper scratches in the plastic...

If you do like in the video , I use acetone . Sand the scratch with 400 to 800 . Sand all with 800 grit . Acetone wipe , alcohol wipe . I use shoe goo on a lot of stuff , tears in leather , fabric . Just a dab . The hot glue thing looks cool if u have one , I just roll something with texture over it . Dry with a heat gun . Spray with adhision promoter 2 coats min . I’m pretty sure his paint was a hvp paint for vinyl and plastic , but that’s what you need . And clear coat .
