I am getting my car worked on and having heads/cam, etc done to my car. When I went to check up on it, I noticed there are now a lot of scratches on the inside of my drivers side door from where someone had brushed against it with something.
Is there any products out there that can hide or repair those scuffed surface scratches?

I dont think there is an easy way to hide them. I had some scratches on the console of my 98, best i could do with them was to trim off the little shavings that were hanging off of them.

You can't do anything about those scratch's. If you try sanding them, you will only make it worse. I have a few of these in my 98 and it pisses me off, but there isn't anything you can do about it unless you buy new interior panels <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0">

Try heating up a nail or something, and work with it carefully! Just don't put too much pressure on it!! <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0">

If the scratch isnt too deep, try taking a lighter and quickly go back and forth across the scratch. The heat of the flame will cause the roughed up plastic to slightly glaze/melt over and look brand new. Just be careful not to touch the plastic for a few seconds as you can actually leave fingerprints in the plastic. Also, believe it or not, rubbing some penutbutter or toothpase over light scratches has enough of an abrasive effect to help.
