I've had my Mitz Eclipse for over 6 years now and the plastic panels are starting to get dull and they have a few scratches on them. I've been trying to restore them..but I can't find anything that works well. What do you guys think I should try? and what have you guys done to your own cars?

i've had good luck using a butane torch ever so lightly to melt out the scratches. as far as being dull there are plenty of plastic restoring sprays out there .

you should look into getting a used one sometimes it comes out cheaper. Say you repair it but with time it may crack somewhere else and you will have to dedicate more time to trying to repair.
