Help with scratches on new car!
Posted: Thu Nov 29, 2018 8:54 pm
Hi all,
I bought a new Polo last weekend and was really excited to fit a TSI grill badge to it. I couldn't figure out a way of attaching the badge with the bracket it came with so decided to (probably a stupid idea) super glue it in place, I then (again stupidly) panicked and rubbed the excess glue away with a rag, I tried to get the rest of the dry glue off with a razor blade and acetone which was somewhat successful, but it has left scratches on the plastic part of the grill along with possibly some dry super glue remaining. My question is what is the best way to repair these scratches? (or remove the remainder of the glue) I have seen advice online saying to try and polish the scratches out although I am worried as it is so close to the chrome plated strip below, will the polish damage the chrome or will it be okay?
Please see attched photo, the scratches are either side of the TSI badge where the plastic meets the chrome. Thanks in advance!
