I need advance...

I have brushed up against a garbage truck and made some rough scrapes on one plactic flare wheel cover. Is there a method to restore or lower damaged area (maybe sand down lightly)???

Scratch the rest of them to make everything look even.

john,

soft polymers are often a no-win situation...anything you try will just make them worse.

the one thing that sometimes helps on softrubber/foamrubber type products is a razor blade to cut it dead flat.the high spots or roughed surface is what catches your eye.

as sarcastic as Jamil's post is, it is very true that once you have a few character scratches small things dont show up as much.

if this is a brand new showroom new vehicle and this is its first scratch then I truley feel for you...take two brushy trails and e-mail us in the morning:-)

Thom
