Scratches

[Mike and Jan]

My som caught the rear corner of our 10 year old Lunar van on a wall and it has left damage to the corner of the van. They are not very light scratches but not bad damage either. I don't to spend a fortune on an such an old van and wondered what to try to best hide them. I am considering Scratch Removal Complete Kit from Autoglym. any thoughts please.

Beyond scratch removal kit imo. Too deep into surface.

If you can’t rub down fill and spray yourself then try a mobile chip away type.
However they won’t be that cheap!

Or just leave it and let it be part of the 10 year patina?

Assuming it's ABS and not fibreglass:
Sand area with wet and dry to flatten it, then fill crevices with ABS paste made from Lego bricks and Acetone. Can be colour matched by adding brown/beige bricks to white. Sand again with a finer grade and keep going until you can't see it.

When my A frame fairing got damaged I used Plastaid ABS repair kit. It worked very well and for an even better colour match I got some touch up paint. Fiat 249 which was the same as Swifts original off white.
