[QUOTE="MY-BLUE-BEAST, post: 166375, member: 388"] heat gun, sand paper and a razor blade. first use the razor blade to flatten the deep cuts by running the blade backwards across them. dont face the blade into the scrape, but away from the scrape. that will flatten out any deep cuts. gently sand the surface with the finest grit sandpaper you can find to to make the plastic even all around. after that wash the plastics to get rid of all the dust and sand. once the plastic dries apply heat with the heat gun on the low setting until the color in the plastic starts to come back. dont hold the gun over one spot for too long or you will have more problems to fix. after the color is restored, take any style wax you prefer and buff it up for a nice shine. It takes a while to get good at, so if you have an old plastic to practice on i suggest you do that.
