Back of the front seat scratch, any solution to fix?

crazytaiwanese · 03-09-2010, 05:32 PM

Hey, i have a 335i Coupe and last night a friend of mine was getting out of my car and she accidentally scraped the back of my passenger side seat with her heels. I've included some pictures below:

I know its basically impossible to get rid of it, but can anyone recommend a product or some kind of procedure that will help conceal it as best as possible...

Thanks!

Man, I hope she gave you more than a scratch for that.

Pix of girl... then i'll tell you what to do.

I'm trying to think of what I would do.

I would try to polish it out personally LOL.

Mr Clean Magic Eraser, but go really lightly at first as it is abrasive. Now really she scraped it getting out or??????

haha thanks fellas, ill give Mr Clean Magic Eraser a try!

Just go really lightly at first and see how much comes off. It may look like a sponge but it is abrasive so be careful. You can get them at any grocery chain, Target or Walmart

i just cant fathom how it would blend the color our with the rest of the seat though

It won't blend the color, it will take the scuff mark down or off is it's only a surface mark. The plastic is the same color all the way thru so if you can get the scuff mark off you'll see the color underneath but there will still be the indentation or scratch. Basically way less noticable than a white scuff on black plastic. Nothing is going to make it disappear completely, you could try shoe polish or leather dye, spray vinyl seat dye and other things but I'd seriously try the $3 approach with the magic eraser and see if that's satisfactory first
