    MBZ wood scratched

    Hi all. I have a friends 1975 Mercedes that has some surface scratches in the wood instrument cluster surround. The piece is wood with a plastic laminent over it. I wanted to know if anyone has had any luck with cleaning up something like this. It only has scratches in a small portion, so I would like to avoid refinishing the entire piece. Any advise would be greatly appriciated.

    Hey m5extc


    Welcome to Meguiar's Online!!!!

    Are the scratches through the clear laminate? If so, there is not too much that can be done. If they are only surface scratches, I would suggest trying Meguiar's PlastX. Test in a hidden spot. Be sure to REALLY work the product in and remove with a clean MF cloth.

    Cheers!

        Hi Tim. Thank you for the welcome and the quick responce. I will give it a shot. The scratches are just on the surface of the laminate, so that should work. I had some plastic polish 10 sitting around, but was not sure if that was the right product for this particular application. Thanks again and I will let you know how it goes after I try it.

          That's the product I used to use on my MB before PastX, should solve the problem
