    If you have interior scratches on your Prius, specifically on the plastic surfaces, Meguiars Plastx works really well. My scratches are all gone!

    Today I noticed scratches on the panel below the driver's door armrest. I think it is coming from the keys that I keep in my left pants pocket. Do you think Meguiars will work on that?

    Just ordered myself one... I was wondering what the remedy was for all those annoying interior scratches. Thanks bud!

    I called Meguiars this morning. Plastx will not work on interior scratches that are not clear plastic. They do not have a recommendation.

    Thank you so much for this tip. I have had my Prius 4 weeks tomorrow and the interior scratches keep popping up and are driving me crazy. Does anyone know what it is so easily scratched in the first place??

    You can actually polish scratches out of many types of plastic with brasso, even though it says its for metal, I have actually used it on plastic with good results. If the scratches are deep, thats another story. Hope you got it fixed.

    I have a superficial scratch on the screen that shows the exterior temp and climate control setting. i appled Plastx and although it is less obvious, it is still clearly scratched. Do you do multiple applications? Any special technique to apply/remove?
