    I was moving some furniture and now i have scuffs everywhere including a scratch on my radio faceplate. The dealership in Arizona referred me to a guy that would charge me 85 dollars to get it fixed(just the scratch) is there any way I can do this myself (like with meguiars plastix)?

    Thanks in advance

    The display is coated with a special finish. Odds are good that all you will do is make it worse.

    Thanks rd, the plastics guy said he wouldn't be able to fix it since there are metal flakes in the plastic and he wouldn't be able to reproduce that.

    What do you reccomend as my next best alternative to remedy this?

    Thanks!

    I don't know how this forum works, I am looking to purchase 2nd Prius for my college son. Looking at a 2006 with package 5. The problem is the auto burns 2 quarts of oil each month. Should I pass on this vehicle?
