Repair chipped interior plastic / trim

Supernintento Chalmers

Any advice on repairing interior trim like this?

I'm gonna try buffing out the light scratches with toothpaste.

Has anyone done repair work on to anything like the slight chips highlighted in red?

I'm sure someone else will be along with more helpful advice.

In the interim, considering time, effort and expense, would you consider wrapping it?

Have you done that yourself?

How difficult is it to do a good job, like, does it not get messy around edges and corners?

Looks like someone was trying to pry off the handbrake button and damaged the plastic. Looks like badly scratched too, be a lot easier to wrap it of you can take it off. Other than change it for another one doesn't look like there's a whole lot you could do with it

As PsychoPete above said, it looks like someone tried to remove the handbrake trim. It's also evident on the right hand side where there is a another dent and a wider gap compared to the left.

Ideally it would be best if the trim/panel could be removed. It would be easier to apply the wrap.

Failing that, one would need to need to carefully work the wrap around and between the edges.

Get a wrapping tool kit off Amazon.

There are tons of tutorial videos on YouTube.
