Does anyone know if it’s possible to get these scratches out of the vinyl?

How deep is the scratch? Does it catch on your nail? You can polish out vinyl stripes (carefully) but once you’ve got something deep enough to get past the color, you’re pretty much SOL.

I had a couple scratches in my vinyl stripes on my prior Mustang. Tried hand polishing them out (I didn’t want to use a machine polisher on them) and they were too deep. They were starting to fade anyway so I just removed them and put new ones on. Big Worm kits are fairly inexpensive.

It’s not too deep but I can definitely feel it I’ll attempt to polish it but if not I’ll just buy some new ones

Good luck! That’s the one thing that sucks about vinyl, it’s harder to repair than paint. I had Big Worm stripes on my previous S550. Great quality vinyl and good price. Cheaper than some of the OEM kits
