How to restore car plastic (radio face) - video :)

**ihaveacamaro** · 01-18-2013, 07:10 PM

Not all of us have protective covers and as life would have it, we naturally get scratches on our radio face.

Here`s how I restored the radio face:

First, a 50/50 picture showing the left side (untreated) and the right side (corrected).

And now, the video on how to do it yourself:

Note: Don`t do this if you have a coated plastic piece.

Nice video Roshan. Thanks for taking the time to create it and share.

Very nice, simple enough to do and a product thats easy enough to find, thanks!

Another good tape to use is 3m`s low density tape for multi surfaces doesnt leave any residue if you leave tape on a project for a few days, learned that the hard way on a boat even with that green tape.

Glad to help

Do you have a link to that tape? Google didn`t help me

Great Idea and thanks for the video Roshan.

Hey Roshan,

I agree with you completely!

Meguiar`s Plastic-X is an amazing product that produces stunning results on just about any smooth non coated plastic....

Great Post!!

Here ya go On-line Product Catalog:`Scotch® Safe-Release? Painters Masking Tape 2080

its part number #2080 its designed for delicate surfaces. I once learned the hard way, 6 rolls of regular 3m painters tape stuck to a boat after having it on for several days while we worked on a big teak job. Took for ever to get all residue and lift tape, a guy in the yard introduced me to this stuff.
