  • what removes scuff marks on vinyl?

    Posted by James Martin on 30 September 2007 at 12:15

    Put a big nasty line across some black 651 with a large rubber water removing squeegee.

    tried Avery surface cleaner……….nup

    tried tar and glue ……..didn’t work either.

    The jobs finished but this is spoiling it a bit.

    Anyone got any ideas.

    As Ian has already said, a good wax polish or trusty Mr. Sheen has been known to work…but black is a sod to disguise any marks.

    I’d go with something containing a little bit of abrasive to start with. Cutting compound, T-Cut or Brasso.

    Then follow that up with wax polish or Mr. Sheen to bring back the gloss, if it needs it.

    tks guys

    I got some t-cut, some back to black, and some polish, met, or something; anyway, I think the t-cut would have worked if I’d have had time but I could only have a quick go.

    That and the polish was slowly working I think.

    Try some isopropyl alcohol.
    It takes some scratches out of our Paint Protection Film, so may work. Dont know, but give it a go.
