Hello Prius Chat, New Prius owner and the previous owners of my 2008 Prius scratched the heck out of their backup camera and I'm trying to figure out the best way to fix it. If the lens weren't horrible scratched, the display end of things are working just fine. Any thoughts on where to begin? We've tried using the "de-fog" headlight cleaner to no avail. Here's a picture and thanks for your help!
Clean well with rubbing alcohol, then apply a coating of superglue to the scratched, rough surface, try to get a smooth surface. Let dry, then use your buffing headlight restoration kit products to clear the super glue surface. The image quality may not be great, but it will definitely improve it for sure.
Hello everyone, Thank you so much for the tips and tricks. I loved the superglue tip and had it in my back pocket in case all else failed. If superglue didn't work, I definitely would have hit JC up for the spare part. My boyfriend and I sanded the rough edges down and then used a cerium oxide / scratch removal kit like this (exactly this): ... and the image quality is so much better! It works like a charm and I'm pretty pleased!
Glass Polishing Kit for all Types of Glass and Car Windshield Wiper Blade Scratches is the type. It won't let me post links just yet.
