I have the ecru interior and scratches in the cargo area too. Haven't found anything to remove the scratches and light sanding takes the shine off the plastic. I've had success with the magic eraser on marks, but not scratches.
Yes I have this problem and it's usually from how we clean our interior dirty towel or wrong towel I realize that we must use clean micro fiber towels and use seperate ones one for plastic one for venal example if we clean our dash and then use same towel on our plastic or cluster lens trapped dirt will cause micro scratches it's very delicate unlike our vynal and rubber parts fortunanty the only way to repair plastics is to re dye them you can't polish plastic surfaces unless it's a glossy type plastic
Anyone have a suggestion on how to repair scratches/deep scuffs in some of the interior plastic trim? My problem is primarily in the rear cargo area. Here's a couple of pics of what I am dealing with (and no, these won't wipe away), some are light scratches and some a deep.
Yea, yea I already purchased both replacements (swear I paid $80) but I am trying to keep it happening again. Put the new ones in and made one road trip (with the back of the SUV fully loaded) and already have one new small scratch. The photo is of the old panel, I used it as a reference.
Maybe I'll try to 3M coating on the old pieces to see what it might look like.
It's funny we never noticed the marks on our old SUV. I bet that's because the rear door/hatch opened "up", so unless you specifically looked up at it you'd never know it had marks. With the new Lexus, all the marks are very noticeable. Plus our dark interior color doesn't help.

I saw on parkplacelexusparts.com but I think it's a lot cheaper on the partsmonster.com which u mentioned on the other thread. I'm looking to order the rear mat and cargo net. It's missing completely.
I would sand it down to get rid of the hard edges and then wrap it with a color match metallic wrap. So many options out there. It will look and feel factory.
I have the same kind of chip on one of my handles as well as some kind of other damage (looks like water spots) on another when I bought my GX used. Also have some scratches on the same color trim around the gear shifter area.
Would love to hear has anyone found a wrap that is really close in color and texture?
we have a 2017 GX with only 23K miles on it. I am noticing some minor scratches on the interior silver door pulls, more like the paint has chipped off and you can see the black primer. Anyone else see this? Poor on a premium car. Not sure how to address.
