Some of the interior plastics mar really easily. I have some light but annoying scruffs and scratches on the silvery painted finish on the radio/heater bezel and ashtray cover, and on the textured plastic on areas like the glove box lid and centre console. Has anyone found a good way to repair or touch in or buff out those marks?

Thanks,

-- Steve

Bumping this up because I'd like to know the answer myself.

Looking at the plastic trim will cause it to scuff! I had some scuffs when I replaced my head unit. I found that rubbing the surface quickly with a cloth will kinda melt it. Looks better than the raw scuff.

If the area is black, your trusty black permanent marker helps.

As to the silver finished parts, you have to either replace them or paint them. Some on the forum have used "Plasti Dip" spray. I'm a purist so I'd replace the damaged parts, but that's a personal preference...:)

On items that look real bad, you can replace them. Of course it will cost you a left or right "family jewel". Very expensive! If you want prices, shoot Jackie (SubaruPartsGirl) a PM. She a wiz & can find anything you need!

That's not half a bad idea... I have a silver marker too, I will do a discreet test to see how well it matches the ashtray paint.

Thanks,
