Interior Scuffs?

Anyone have experience/ideas for getting scuffs out of interior plastic?

I'm trying to clean up the cargo area of my runner.

great question - I'm also considering ways to protect it in the first place, like cardboard or blankets maybe suction-cupped to the windows to hold it up while I load.

I've thought of making something similar, but for a different use.

I would like to make some sort of inner window covers - for those nights that I end up sleeping in the back.

Careful use of a heat gun can lessen the scratches. Best bet is to do light sanding and spray color matched plastic paint to freshen it. See SEM Plastic Paints. I'll dig up a link.

EDIT: Can't find a SEM site, but Eastwood carries it.

Veyr true. You can also use a solder gun and wave it over the area slowly.
