i have a black interior in my 2k2. i was wondering if any one knows how to get rid of the interior scratches in the hard plastic panels (kick panel, doors, pilars, etc).

try using some armoral and see how it goes, if you really scratched the plastic = no way to get them out unless you replace the plastic pieces.

If it is shoe marks you are referring to then Armorall will only cover it up. If you want to remove the marks, I have a few methods that will work. First one is to try spraying Simple Green on a wet sponge and scrubing at the door panel. You can also spray the simple green on to the door panel and then scrub it with an interior scrb brush. Make sure you read the directions on the back of the simple green bottle. NEVER use it at full strength. You will have to add water.
If that doesnt work, You can try compound. I know this sounds strange but what I do is I take a little 3M rubbing compound and I apply it to a towel, I then rub the scratches on the door panle until it is not there anymore. After this I wipe the door down with a clean towel and then I dress the plastic with an interior dressing.
I hope this helps you out.

Thanks civicdude... I think that is a common problem with black plastic kick panels. I've had my 2k2 lx coupe barely 2 weeks, and have already gotten those marks, and I am CAREFUL! Anyway what is this "Green" stuff and where do I get it?

Simple green. You can get it in any autoparts store or Home Depot sells it too. Make sure you read the directions on the bottle about how much water to mix it with.
