The plastics on the rear of the seats had scratches on from previous owner.

Never took a picture of before with the scratches like a plonker, but just thought it may be of help to some of you.

Used a heat gun over the scratches and they do disappear. Deep ones I get warm and dab with a sponge to get the texture effect.

You end up with shiny bit though where the heat gun as been used.

So thought I'd try going over them with some autoglym black dye.

I think they've turned out great.

Just thought it may be of help. Especially the autoglym dye.

There are loads of videos showing how to get the scratches out on YouTube with a heat gun etc.

Good work there.

Did consider getting mine vinyl wrapped (carbon fibre) but I don’t think the grain effect would allow it.

Thanks.

Not sure with the grain/pattern that's in it, if you would get away with a wrap mate to be honest.

I'll have to try this as I have a couple of marks on the back of one of the front seats from using my car like a van sometimes. I did see online that you can use a hot melt glue stick to replicate the plastic texture then press it in to the warm/softened seat back over the scratches.

I used a washing up sponge and touch wood managed to get a similar pattern.

Unfortunately you won’t. Asked a wrapping place and they suggested they’d have to either sand the area flat or fill-in the grain first.

Only other option would be hydro dipping.
