I've been looking at multiple Certified GX's (just waiting on the right one) and almost all used ones I've see have scratches on that silver finis

How did your touchup turn out Acrad?

I guess I never got around to it... I think the paint I purchased at time is still in garage. Weekend search... might be a spring project.

I ended up scratching my radio trim today. Has anyone found any touch up paint that matches?

Does the atomic silver exterior paint look similar enough to our interior trim?

this is a common problem with pretty much every Toyota out there.. Tacoma, 4Runner, Tundra... all the interior plastics scratch really easily, I've never seen a durable solution other than wrapping it or buying new pieces and applying a clear protective static vinyl piece to the pieces.

Looks like a wrap is in my future. I don't want to go all wood on the trim. It'll probably look tacky. The 2020's seem to have black gloss which is nice before anyone touches it...

I still never got around to that touchup paint test. I'm thinking it will still stand out. My 2nd and 3rd row are down most of the time carrying cargo back and forth to my cabin so haven't notice the mark on the door for a while.

Lightbulb Interior Scratches

Is there a good cream recommended to help cover scratches from suitcases in the cargo area?

I have heard some carefully use heat guns against the plastic but tread lightly if you go down that path. Not sure on technique

Hopefully they will improve the quality of the plastics used in the cargo area in the next gen - current gen gets marked up after almost anything touches it.

Default What can be used to hopefully remove a scuff on the black interior plastic?

I was moving stuff for my parents and hit the wheel well plastics inside my GX and left a couple of scuffs. Is there anything that can help “repair” them?

Scratches happen but I was hoping to make it more than 2 months

If there are physical scratches ... nothing can be done ... use Meguiars #40 to minimize the visual.

Yeah I took everything out to make room to haul stuff and took the blanket I normally have out

Is this the stuff you recommend I try?

A gallon may be a bit much though
