Just got my R and the radiator cover has a deep scratch. Can this be sanded without repaint. I was thing of 1000-1500 grit wet sand. Help!! | ||

The plastics have molded in color, there is no paint. If you are good with sanding and polishing, you can make it look brand new. Personally I would either forget about it, or spend the $50 on a new pod.  | ||

Don't sand. Use a plastic polish, BY HAND. A rotary can make enough heat to turn it into a claymation piece. Depending on how deep it is...something as simple as a CD repair kit (scratch filler liquid) and some elbow grease can bring it right back up. | ||

Ratbuell, I was wondering the same thing. Has anyone tried the NOVUS kit? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NOVUS-LARGE-KIT-PLA STIC-POLISH-RESTORATION-SYSTEM_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQh ashZitem5d26cb1251QQitemZ400082801233QQptZMotorsQ5 fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories I use this for my face shield, but have not tried it on bodywork. | ||

I did the wet-sand thing on a pod I slid on... 320-600-1500-2000 then 4-0 steel wool and a couple of applications of Meguiar's Gold Class. Was almost good enough to put back on when the new one arrived. Z |
