Removing RC Body Scratches

[Penguin Fart Racing]

Car bodies are painted on the underside. Body shell exterior is "straight" plastic. When my RC body exteriors get scratched up as they "turn turtle and slide on tough pavement, I buff out the scratches with successively fine wet sand paper and emory cloth. Instead of wetting sand paper with water, I use concentrated dish soap. After the emory cloth, I use a patch of closed cell foam from a can coolie dripping with swirl and fine scratch eliminator for full-size cars.

I just keep mine plastic side up. I wish!

Sand paper and plastic polish for the really nasty scratches. Most of the time I don't worry about it.

I never worry about scratches, scratches are like scars, they add personality. Not to mention it gives me a reason to get and paint a new body. Good method though if you are so inclined to remove them.

I guess you are right about Battle Scar Scratches. Will have to consider this. I have found that the wet soap method does not work well on the bodies I've fabricated of cardboard and uncooked spaghetti. Will post one of these soon

I have a couple bodies with shelf scuffing that I will try this on. It's It's great tip so thank you for sharing. Most of the time I don't worry about bashing damage. I'd be forever polishing rather than running
