Heat gun interior fix

Possibly already covered on here but here's a couple of before and after pics of my efforts with the heat gun.

I've had some great results on exterior plastics but never thought of using a heat gun on the interior. Cheers

That's quite impressive. Do you just heat it up and rub it smooth?

I'm also intrigued as to what needs doing to achieve these results.

No you don't physically touch it. You hold the heat gun quite close to the panel moving it quickly left and right or up and down along the scratches. The plastic sort of heals the scratches under the heat. The best thing is to start prob 2 inches away and work your way closer. It's better to under do it than overdo it, move it quickly for a couple of seconds then move it away, then back again, as it gets hotter you will see the damage heal. The trick is obviously not to get it over hot or you will end up with a mess.
The above was my first attempt. I've got rid of all the kick marks on the door panel and the sill and some on the left side of the gear stick console, worked a dream

I'll have to borrow a heat gun to try that. Expect photos of burnt plastic in a few weeks lol.
