: Cleaning the Titan plastic interior tips?

Who has some tips on cleaning the Titan plastic interior? I love my truck but Nissan could upgrade the cheap plastic door panels and the console parts.

Is there anything out there that helps blend the scratches in the plastic os their not so noticable? Since I have the crew cab I get lots of passengers that kick the seat backs or the console.

I've used some Eagle products with pretty fair results.

thanks

armor-all wipes work great

I've heard of someone, dont' remember who, using a crayon to fill and blend scratches on the plastic. I haven't tried it, but seems like it would work.

You guys might wanna rethink using Armor All. I've heard there's alcohol in their wipes and that can ruin the plastic over a period of time. I'm guessin' the alcohol dries the plastic and then the heat of the sun can crack the plastic.

Hmmmmm... I've been using an Eagle product that has nano's in it. Tweenie-weenie shiners inside there... seems okay.

Heat gun works.......just don't liquify the plastic.

That would not look good. BTW I loved your gauge and console paint job. I don't thing I'd have the skill to sand and paint plastic that well. Do you use an airbrush or a HPLV?

I looked everywhere for gauge pod pillers but no dice if thats what ur talkin about. i thought maby buy an extra a piller and mold universal pods into them. Then could paint of fiberglass over. Any idea on what color would look good for interior pieces in our white trucks?? need to match stero dash kit as well, figured WHITE would be a little too bright and ricer hehehe
