I just bought a Nissan Xterra, I was very proud of my new car, but some old lady gave me a nice little scratch, any way the front of the car is plastic, so I was thinking if there is a way to erased that with sand paper for plastic, any sugestions?, I would really appreciate the help from modelers!

if it didnt go through the paint or crack it you should be able to hit it with some mild rubbing compund and then wax it as normal.

A pic of the damage would help

Like HWR MKII said, you should be able to buff it out. A lower speed set dremel and a buffing cloth wheel with compound would probably work. I've done that several times on several types of plastic (even works on CD's if you are careful).

If you have a Dremel buffing kit, it's in there (most people really don't know what it is). If not, get buffing rouge from a good hardware store or plastics store. Go lightly or the heat will make it burn in deeper. Water sometimes helps to cool and lubricate, just a mist.

Thank You very much, I will do that!!!
