Scuff Above Wheel Well... Help

Featured Replies

Hi, I'm looking for advice on a scuff on my 14' crosstrek which I received while my Subaru was at airport parking. Its on the plastic exterior above the wheel well. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

Put some mud tires on it and go offroading, it'll feel right at home with its new scuff and scrape friends  :grin:

A body shop was able to do something to remove it. Or an auto detail shop. I tried a heat gun to remove a scratch from a rose bush, and clucked-up royally because I got it a bit too hot. It got rid of the scratch, but it discolored the plastic because it brought the oils in the plastic to the surface. I would definitely try the heat gun again, but I'd practice on a junk yard piece first to perfect the method. But again, a body shop or auto detailer knows what to do... hopefully. 

 

If it's really bad, like more than a small scratch, then look for a new replacement part on RockAuto.com. Last I saw, they sold for around $30 if it was in stock.
