Mark Gregory Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I own a 2016 Toyota Highlander and my wife put her purse on the dash on the passenger side . The zipper parts on the purse left faint scratches in the rubber - plastic dash . I was told Armour All is had on the dash . Any pointers Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 The short answer is not really, without causing a different type of defect, like a shiny spot. Whether it is technically a scratch or a mar (has to do with the shape of the damage) you've displaced some of the polypropylene in the plastic matrix. It's like the scuff you get on a lower door panel. There are some industrial products sold for hiding flow lines in molded plastic parts that might mask this. Do a search for injection molding supplies, I think a company called Stoner is one supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

playswithbrass Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 Up here in Canada we have companies that will repair that sort of damage. The one I use is called Fibrenew. They will repair vinyl leather etc .Do a google Seahawks in your area. Cheers pete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorialynn2 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 (edited) There are places that do this in the US. I had a slice in my Tundra’s console top and you can’t tell it was ever there. Ask an rv, auto shop or an apholstory place in your area for a referral. Edited March 22, 2019 by victorialynn2 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 There is a big difference between repairing a thermoformed vinyl skin used over foam, a TPO skin over foam, an sewn panel armrest and a hard PP panel (leather is very rarely used on a dash). What's in the Highlander? Is it soft or hard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan arnett (2) Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Can it be removed or must it stay with the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorialynn2 Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 @Mark Gregory, This is the company I was thinking of: https://colorglo.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregory Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Thanks Victoria Lynn , Plays with Brass for the leads . There is a Fibre New in the Toronto area that is close to me . The company Color Glo looks like they do a great job also . The dash is semi soft not rock hard and it is right by the air bag on the passenger side . Terry B you are right I should get her to buy me a new car . Except I would have to pay for it . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
