Wish it were a scratch. There was gum or something sticky on the driver side mirror and it would not come off, so I used acetone, but was accidentally rubbing the black sides too and it turned a lighter shade of black. I tried a sharpie, but that did not look right. But if it is just plastic and the same color all the way through, then I should be able to polish it back to normal. ??What type of scratch do you have, and on which side/surface? Is it gouged/grooved, or just surface?
I imagine so, but haven't attempted anything like that myself. For it to have turned a lighter shade suggests that the surface was directly plastic and the acetone dissolved it. If the surface is no longer level, you could also try epoxy to fill back to level.Wish it were a scratch.
