Radio Bezel Scratchs

What to use on Radio bezel scratchs the Little plastic bezel on my radio is pretty scrated up and is bothering me alot because the rest of the Interior is perfect. I was thinking Plexus but what other options is there. ?

Hey Frozen!

If it`s plastic, try Megs Plastix. I hear it works well for hard type plastics. Didn`t do squat to my Armorglove that had small scratch where I rubbed too hard with a MF towel. People have good results with it on hard plastics!

Yes my radio bezel has a bunch of the little scratchs and then some bigger ones apparntly from a paper towel.

Thanks for the tip.

You might also try Novus #3 and #2...takes a lot of time and elbow grease but you`ll eventually get there. If its textured plastic though you`re out of luck...nothing to do except buy a new one

hmm I wonder Its a Crysler Radio. I think I can get them off I dont know where to get a new one but I can always check it just bothers me cause the Interior is flawless but the radio bezel is scratched up.

Hit up you`re local dealer, if they don`t have it in stock they can always order it. Then if you`re buiss is registered, ask for a discount

Well if its a smooth bezel you can get them out or at least make them less noticeable.

If its got that textured look (usually black matte with micro texture) then when you try to polish all you`re going to do is smooth it out and make it look weird.

If its a stock OEM radio you might be able to get it from any place that sells chrysler parts...then again you might not (they may sell only the entire radios). You could always try looking for a used broken radio too and swipe it off of that

It would be cool if someone made something with fillers that could fill in plastic scratches. I`ve spent some $$$ replacing interior texturized panels I`ve accidentally scratched working on radios and the like

Be careful because some bezels are base plastic covered with a thin layer of paint or plastic and you can quickly buff through the outer layer with many plastic cleaners.

If its black then its *probably* solid all the way through. In my accord, all of the gray plastic is actually black plastic painted gray...found that out the undesirable way

Oh by the way I found the black plastic bevel on my navigation unit was scratched today. I went by the dealer to see how much a replacement for this plastic bezel was....$250+. I decided to keep the scratch
