1990 Range Rover Classic Dashboard Scratches

RobV8Defender · Mar 14, 2024

Hi All,

I am finally putting back the dash etc and wondered if any of you had any good ideas on how to remove scratches from a Range Rover classic dashboard.

Mine is grey, I have tried standard dash cleaner and that didn’t do anything but make it smell nice

Cheers

How did it get scratched? It's all hard plastic anyway.

Not sure, a bit of careless handling when moved around the garage.

They are not deep or anything, but leave a white line, like the colour has been taken off.

Is it like hard moulded plastic?

You could VERY gently run a heat gun over it, that would soften the edges of the scratches a bit.

Wurth also do a "bumper dye" that recolours the surface, but doesn't really fill scratches, as suck. It makes it all one shade though. I did the entire dash on a Suzuki Carry van with it.

Might be worth posting a picture, if you can get a good one.

Thanks Allan - I’ll deffo have a look at the heat gun thing - I think a dye may be the answer.

I get the feeling that the hard plastic of the Classic Dash just cannot hold it’s colour.

I think I have some back to black somewhere which is actually a white cream colour, so I may try scratching the dash somewhere out of site and seeing it it brings it back at all.

I’ll post a couple of pics - why didn’t I think of that
