Scratch on prado 150 dash

Hello
I just bought an unreal condition prado 150 gxl however there is a few scratches on the passengers side dash, It would not bother most people but I am very particular

Is it possible to get it repaired? Or is there a way that I can repair would rather a professional do it

If so can your suggest where to go in Sydney

Thank you for your help

I believe you can remove some scratches with a heat gun! just wave it over the scratch and it moulds it self in.

Might wan't to practice on the wheelie bin for a while but that is how they remove scratches from polly boats.

"Practice on the wheelie bin" is really good advice.

Hi Brent N1,

See if you can find a plastic welder (I think that is what they are called). We had a phone installer drill holes in our Camry years ago and it was repaired by such a person.

Our Troopy had its rear light surround damaged last year and we had it repaired the same way. Our next door neighbour is in the crash repair business and knew the guy. Much cheaper and in both instances undetectable.

Sorry, can't help for such a person in Sydney.

Cheers,
Di and Bruce

buy a dash mat or go bush with windows down and the dust will cover it .... be very careful with the "heatgun", you may end up with an insurance question or 2

Hi Brent N1

I used to work at Lander Toyota Blacktown in the pre delivery department
A guy used to come in and fix any blemished on dashs
If you ring them at pre delivery department they should be able to tell you the guy and his company name
He was mobile Not sure which suburb you are in, but if you were to far away I am sure a large dealership near you should be able to help
