  • Light Scratches On Plastic Chrome

    How's it going? I have some light scratches on the shell that goes around my grill and headlights. It's chrome-painted plastic and I was wondering what would be the best to use. Since it is plastic, I was thinking of PlastX, but is that good for painted plastic also? Someone also suggested ColorX, but wouldn't the abrasives make it a bit worse? After cleaning it with one of these, would NXT safe be safe to use to wax? Thanks.

    Nxt wax, or any of the pure waxes will be safe to use for protection.

    As far as gettign rid of the scratches, good question. I am not sure what the silver material would be considered. You want to work based on what the top material is, not the plastic base. And I dont know if it is paint, or some sort of plating?

      I used Plastx on my plastic grille and it did a great job of cleaning it up. Just apply lightly with a foam applicator and remove with a soft MF towel to avoid instilling any additional swirls. Plastx also helps clean up any etching left by water that was allowed to dry.

        Oh alright. It's weird I can't find any here in Vegas, and Meguiar's clay seems to be sold out everywhere too. All they have is Mother's. Anyway, I'm going to order both online, and I'll tell you how it works out. Thanks.
