Hi guys
I have a few scratches on the alloy centre console cover in my 2012 RRS. They are not deep, but was wondering if something like autosol will remove the scratches. Not sure if there is some sort of coating that would be ruined if I used some abrasive polish like autosol.

Anybody tried removing the scratches?

Thanks

Plus one on this topic.

Mine has marks similar to light finger nail scratches on the silver alloy (is it alloy or a plastic?) and I could do with removing them. Anyone any success or thoughts?

I thought of trying a light polish to see if that would have any effect but, likewise, didn't want to risk removing any coating that may have been applied. Cheers

I reckon it's a polished alloy. But as far as a coating goes I don't know.

Maybe someone has been successful in removing lights scratches before? 2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory

iv tried silver brasso lightly, but no difference.
Might just try autosol as what's the he worst that can happen?  2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory

Hi Chris,

If you are referring to the bit around the gear selector I have used autosol on this, not perfect but it work's fine with elbow grease, there isn't a coating on it either.

Yeah that's the one. Thanks. Will give it a go.

I thought the only alloy bit is the TR knob - all the rest seems to be painted plastic. I have scratches on my ski jumps ad around the base of the gear selector.

Chris,

I think that's only because mine is the Supercharger and they retained the Gearstick and 6 speed transmission, so same thing just slightly different shape. I don't think the fact that it's a AB makes any difference either.

Cheers

I was wondering.
I used to use autosol for pretty much all things shiny in my bike days so should work.
Thanks!

Incidentally Col what do u use to keep ur interior clean, like leather cleaner etc. Anything specially? 2015 RRS AB SDV6, Fuji White, Ivory

Nothing special Mate just Autoglym Leather Cleaner and Leather Balm, I'm sure someone on here will be able tell you the best stuff to use though. As I say the Autosol worked ok on mine for minor surface scratches, not sure how good it would be on deep scratches though. Not really sure what material it's made of certainly metal of some sort not plastic.

Yeah I can remember (just) using ton's of the ol Autosol when I rode bikes, but that was along time ago now got soft and went for four wheels instead.

Cheers
Col

Cheers for this, I'll get some Autosol and try it next week when I'm home. Mine all appear to be shallow minor scratches, almost like small surface scratches, so hopefully something like Autosol would do the job.

If I find anything that works, I'll post it up

I also agree with Col, I use the same Autoglym products on the inside and find they do a good enough job but, if someone has something better, I'm always open to new ideas. Cheers

Thanks guys
Brian, same, smallish, light scratches. Should be easy enough to get out with enough elbow grease.
