In this article we are going to show you how to repair scratches and cracks in your dashboard. The process is simple enough that anyone can do it, and it only takes about 30 minutes.
What you need:
- Factory-matched leather dye
- Leather cleaner
- Scuff pad
- Superglue
- Superglue activator
- Heat gun (optional)
Time required:
30 minutes.
Step 1. Sand Scratch
Sand the scratch with 220-grit sandpaper.
Step 2. Clean Area
Clean the repair area thoroughly.
Step 3. Apply Glue
Apply superglue to the crack or scratch, and smooth with a palette knife or plastic knife. You can use superglue activator to instantly harden the glue.
Step 4. Sand Glue
Sand the glue flat with 220-grit sandpaper. Clean the area again when done.
Step 5. Apply Dye
Apply multiple light coats of factory-matched plastic dye. A heat gun from about 12 inches accelerates drying times.
Use this same process to repair any plastic piece in your car, like dashboards, consoles, or pieces in your trunk or cargo area.
