2012 Freelander 2 SD4 HSE Auto Ipanema Sand

Boot scratches

Hi

My boot is looking a bit sad on the inside due to scratches on the black plastic interior.

They are mostly just light though.

Any one care to make suggestions on how best to spruce it up a bit....favourite products??

Cheers.

Scratches in the plastic boot sides are really difficult to hide in my experience, which isnt what you wanted to hear - sorry. Its why boot liners are so popular (and bumper protectors for dogs jumping in and out)
There are lots of automotive cleaning products for dashboards -worth trying but they are probably no better than Mr Sheen.
Someone else may have had more success though. Jules

I've found the Autoglym Vinyl & rubber restorer works well.

2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Fuji White

It's fine for colour and scuff marks but will not deal with proper scratches - the only real solution is to replace panels as any attempt to sand and fill will be obvious No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Buy a Rhino boot liner. You will not get any more scratches , can carry all sorts of junk, protect the seat backs etc. Chuck it in the washer when needed, and more importantly it will cover up the shabby bits, and you can use it as a plus when you sell the car 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

if the scratches are not too deep with little bits/tags hanging then rub down with some very fine
sand paper then polish with some back to black liquid not spray OR and I am not joking some
smooth peanut butter !!
