how to clean the interior

ok, so i left my brother the car for about a week because i was out of town. it proved to be one of the silliest mistakes i have ever in my life committed. there are little scratches all over the inside by the doors and glove compartment. i've tried wiping it down real hard but obviously that didnt seem to work. anybody got any ideas?

Bad idea, I leave no one my car. When I go away I write the km's down.

My plastic has scratches in spots, nothing you can really do about them...

Nothing can be done about the scratches, except replacing the part, so keep an eye out for Evo part-outs, and steal your brother's wallet.

yeah, when you leave your car you should disconnect your injectors, thats a good way to make sure no one 'borrows' it

You could always find a interior repair person and ask them... any dealership would be able to steer you in the right direction to locate such a person,

best of luck and report back to us and tell us your findings.

painted (ie silver console and such) plastics I use a cleaner wax on... As far as scuffs on the black plastic like kick panels and such I use a 3M Green Cleaning/scouring pad lighly over the scuffs and then lay on the interior shine stuff... I usually use Meguires interior sprays and cleaners, because I like the way they smell...

Deep gouges are not gonna get fixed easily, just shined up and blended in...

Your going to have to live with it unless you get a whole new panel... You can get some Armor All to make the scratches blend in.
