Pizza Box - Dash Sratched For Good

kero · 03-27-2007, 11:25 PM

I will post pics tomorrow.

My wife was holding a pizza box in the front seat. When she was getting out, the pizza box (corner) lightly grazed the dash above the globe box.

I know have a 6"-7" permanent white mark from the pizza box on the dash. Nothing will get it out. The mark even goes over the vent which also has a white mark which won't come out.

Imagine having to look at that for the life of the car.

I am very worried about the longevity of the inside materials, which, has been discussed many times at this point.

Did you try armor all?

*waves at the piss-poor plastic in the Civic*

Seriously. I don't care if the plastic is high quality or not. I can't hardly tell the difference. If you made a Chevy's interior shaped like the Civic's interior, had I never been in one, I promise you I wouldn't know the difference.

But unlike the Civic's, the Chevy's doesn't scratch if you breath on it.

Or..in this case, put a carboard box on it.

same thing here, and its always interesting to see how everything has moved when you open the trunk

I have one, 1.5" scratch on the driver's side door. My fingernail went up against the plastic and left a mark. Won't come out. Needless to say, I'm really careful now.

dt07Si · 03-28-2007, 12:41 AM

Hmm I guess I ought to be careful seeing as how I would hate for that to happen to my Si

kero · 03-28-2007, 11:05 AM

Here is the photo and looks worse when you are in the car, it was real sunny when I took the photo this morning.

The pizza was not even that great, go figure!

xmx250 · 03-28-2007, 11:16 AM

It hurts to see that. I know how much of an eyesore that could be on your new car. I have a two inch scratch on the bottom of my glovebox. I think one of my friends pants accidently rubbed it or something..............

Vince · 03-28-2007, 11:18 AM

yeah that looks more like surface damage than just a mark...that's f'ed up. I'd beat that girl within an inch of her life...that'd be the last time she rides in my f'in car.

(More sarcasm)

FG*SQUAD Nick · 03-28-2007, 11:18 AM

it will come out scrub it really good with a wet towel...

rmfa · 03-28-2007, 12:23 PM

I got some of that Meguire's interior spray and I must say that it works great if you put yo back into it! :) You might try that stuff.

subee13 · 03-28-2007, 12:30 PM

Its a surface scratch... you will be able to rub it out. haha no pun intended

noahrexion^2 · 03-28-2007, 12:46 PM

303 protect and it will be gone

poizun · 03-28-2007, 12:48 PM

Dude. If the Armor All Vinyl/Plastic Protector stuff doesn't work, you may wanna try takin a heat gun to it. I forgot where I read it (somewhere on the forum) that someone was able to get scuffs and scratches out by heating the area a little bit (and probably rubbing with a cloth?). Just don't heat it so much that everything melts I guess. I can't seem to find the original thread, but I'll put it up if I can find it...

Mequiars sells products that will take that off instantly. I believe it's the vinyl cleaner. I forgot what number it was.

Don't stress over this mark because it's clearly somethign that can come right off.

And next time, ask for delivery.

06si · 03-28-2007, 03:00 PM

It's a freakin civic....Get over it

j/p. I hate seeing scratches in my car also. I got them all over the back of the front seats and a few on the dash.

One that costed $20,000 these are not cheezball cars anymore; I think I would accept that if it was like a Hyundai accent, maybe a fit. Civics are nice / expensive cars, not luxury but still nice.
