Does anybody know if this product will restore (or at least color in) scratches on black plastic (the carbon fiber portion of my car's grille)?

It did a good job of coloring in damaged area, just make sure you clean it with that solution they gave you really well. Plus be prepared to used several light coats to get a nice even finish.

All of the parts I have coated are black plastic. It covers very well. Robert

I would think so . Pour a small amount into a magazine tub and use a small paintbrush to fill in yor scratches,

Call the service dept and they will surely help. I have two of these on metal frame bikes and they can scratch, one thing you don't want to happen with carbon fiber. They have always been very helpful.

If your scratches are truly minor, this would work, but use it only where needed. Your original finish is probably better as is if it is in "good" condition. Use this on the scratches and follow up with a true wax, not a polish, on the rest of the car.

Hello! To answer your question is that you want make sure that color matches your car, This product will only cover up the scratch and it has like a ball point pin style that applies the paint and it comes with a brush as well. I used this item on my black Mercedes and it did cover up the scratch and sometime scratches can be buffed out, depending on how deep the scratch is if it's a hair line like scratch it shouldn't be a problem. Hope this helps and good luck.

The scratches and scuffs on mine are pretty dark, due to the Grey undercoat I presume. So I would say no, it doesn't make scratches go away entirely. This is of course with the blue shell that I have. I would imagine the scratches would more prominent with lighter, brighter colors like orange. But my scratches don't seem popout that much with the blue.

It does help...it does a better job of hiding scratches than any other product I have used.

It will make the scratch much less noticeable but in no way remove or repair it. I used this product on a couch my pet had made many scratches on and it did a great job of making the scratches less noticeable and the finish more like the original.

No. I actually used it on plastic and it made it a bit worse and don't use Meguiar's plastx it can ruin plastic too. If they are light scratches the best thing I found, especially for dark plastics, is Meguiar's Deep Crystal Carnuba Wax. It does not get rid of the scratches but it does help make them a bit less noticeable.

i may not have the answer you are looking for. I have found that this product does not fix in any way scratches but I feel that is protects the scratch so it does not get worse. I hope this helps.

Hi TeSharra. Try this test: wet each scratch a bit (I just use a little spit) and see if the scratch is still black. If so, then the scratch is all the way down to the metal and you will need to repaint. Otherwise (the scratch has pretty much disappeared) the scratch is not too deep and you can repair it - but DO NOT use this product. I recommend instead using rubbing compound to remove the scratch followed by polish to get a nice professional finish (it takes some work and practice). About $5 for a small tub of each from Turtle Wax. Good Luck! -Joe

What I used was steps one and two - Without the sandpaper. The way I used the remover it should not have come in contact with the paint , so in a sense yes. It removed scratches in the clear coat nicely. Follow the manufactures recommendations and go slow. There are good instructional videos too. Good luck.

This is not paint. The product helps to restore the clear coat paint on the vehicle. Most small scratches only affect the top coat ( clear coat). This product removes the scratches by using really fine liquid 'sandpaper' then polishing the dullness that results from the liquid sanding.

I applied it to the top of a black plastic bumper cover on a black Cadillac SRX. Looked great and was fine through the remaining 6 months I owned the car (April-Sept). Really liked the looks inside the car.

I would not waste your time. I have a black metallic car. It covers up some minor small hood chips. Some little scratches.

It worked wonder for me. The rubber weather seal around the car windows were rough and discolored (looked faded gray-white-ish). I cleaned all the dirt with Meguiar's D10101 All Purpose Cleaner (10:1 diluted), then applied heavily 4, 5 coats of this. The weather seal did get soften quite a bit; but the most important thing was that I got rid of that old faded unsightly color, now they look shiny deep black.

It works good on scratches but not too good on oxidation but it dose make it look a lil better but not by much. buffing with a rubbing compound than use this product followed by a really good wax will make a world of difference on oxidation
