T Cut is really made for paint restoration, it has chemicals in it that plastic may not like. Whilst it may appear to do the job...What long term damage would it do?

Very clean DTR there DeeTee. I would really like some before and after photo's if anyone has got some. I've got some real deep scratches in mine im just wondering if it's worth buying this stuff or new panels. Steve evileye

If the scratches are deep,get a teaspoon and get the back of it red hot over a cooker burner and smooth the melting plastic about to build back up the scratch.practice makes nearly perfect.

Xerapol is really meant for the hard acryllic type of plastic sich as can be found on modern headlamps of tail lamps etc. It did seem to work, ie it looked a lot better than before...in conjunction with the furnature polish. No chance with deep scratches though, maybe work with wet / dry followed with this stuff and lots of elbow grease.
