Hi, I'm looking for advice on a scuff on my 14' crosstrek which I received while my Subaru was at airport parking. Its on the plastic exterior above the wheel well. Any advice or help is greatly appreciated!

A body shop was able to do something to remove it. Or an auto detail shop. I tried a heat gun to remove a scratch from a rose bush, and clucked-up royally because I got it a bit too hot. It got rid of the scratch, but it discolored the plastic because it brought the oils in the plastic to the surface. I would definitely try the heat gun again, but I'd practice on a junk yard piece first to perfect the method. But again, a body shop or auto detailer knows what to do... hopefully. 

 

If it's really bad, like more than a small scratch, then look for a new replacement part on RockAuto.com. Last I saw, they sold for around $30 if it was in stock.
