Well, at least the windshield crack is fixed...you can still see it but it's 85% gone. Looks like a faint webbing left by a spider.

You better sew them into the lining or I'll just dump them into your car!

Given your guest list, so far, I suspect there will be a whole lot of "unsanitary" going on at this event.

Maybe bricks inside your tent too.















Speaking of interiors, I still have not attempted to buff out the minor scratch on the mini-display screen between my temp. knobs (this is NOT the navigation screen). Still too to try despite Majofo's suggestion to use a Magic Eraser gently on it.

Melanie Foam is what you're looking for. The most common branded version is the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser but you could get 4x the quantity for the same price off of Amazon if you just look up melamine foam and buy the generic blocks.

There shouldn't be anything else in it, just a white foam block. It's just a super super super fine abrasive in and of itself.

FWIW, depending on how your morals fall, a person may be inclined to try it out on a loaner or rental vehicle before trying it on their own. Just in case it leads to some fine hazing or something. I've never used it on a clear surface so I'm not sure how much opaquing it may cause.

Thanks for the advice on the blocks.

I'll sacrifice a goat or something before I try it on my car. I won't do it another's vehicle as I already have enough karma going my way thanks.

Might well hace sone fun too!


Like they say, the fastest kind of car is a rental car...

FFS. Autocorrect fail. Melamine is the foam. No clue who TF Melanie is, but rubbing your screen with her will likely have undesirable outcome.

Aren’t there polishing compounds for plastic headlights?

I wouldn’t do anything more aggressive than that. I would probably just live with it.

What I'd do is go take your car to the dealership (preemptively because you know it'll end up there anyway ) get the loaner, get your wife to scratch it again, and then get the Magic Eraser to test on



but I"m a man of little to no morals

Meguiar's makes a "PlastX" compound https://smile.amazon.com/Meguiars-Pl...-no-redirect=1


Not sure how it compares to Magic Eraser/Melamine in terms of abrasiveness though..


Just don't use a @Majofo on there.. that guy is abrasive as hell

Yeah, this would be similar:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00068KU1K/?coliid=I2FM8IPL1PLR1Y&colid=306R9XRQRCL5Y&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B00068KU1K/?coliid=I2FM8IPL1PLR1Y&colid=306R9XRQRCL5Y&psc=0&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it

Apparently, it works on clear, plastic trim which I believe is the surface of the display between the temp. knobs. Your Audi would have that same mini-screen too, Mike. You know which one I'm referring to, right? It's not an LCD surface as far as I can tell.
