Scratch Mark repair?

Ok everyone, I now have a problem that I had for months with Wheelie, It isn't anything terminal or internal engine related., It's more of an appearance issue...caused by me sadly.

As I posted before, I am a handicap, I walk with a rolling walker...whenever I go out somewhere, I take my rolling walker with me and put it inside Wheelie.

the problem I am sadly facing is that my walker ALWAYS moves as I drive, and everytime I make a stop, My walker slides across Wheelie's seat backing.

After many months of sliding, my walker has caused white scatch marks on Wheelie's textured seatbacking surface. I have tried to remove these marks with soap and water with absolutely no progress.

I feel bad that i did this to Wheelie, but I know he understands....My Question tho is this, Is there ANY way that I can remove these marks?....I appreciate your feedback, Wheelie does too..Thanks!

if these are scratches in the plastic, these nothing that I know of to fix it. If it is just marks from the walker sliding on it, then try something called GOOFOOF. It has removed all sorts of stuff for us over the years. I hope this helps Wheelie!

Not sure about the scratches.

But for future protection, can you wrap your walker in a beach towel? Or hold it in place with a seat belt? Or even an old unused bed sheet, cut to size, of course.

Not sure what, if anything can be done to damaged plastic, but... how about putting a couple of velcro pads/strips down and on the device/walker, that would keep it from sliding and it wouldn`t be too hard to remove for use.

I just used some of the poor boys line, they have some really nice stuff and they have a forum that you can learn how to use their stuff on.

I got this company from my neighbor that does high end detailing (like 1500 dollar jobs ) if they are good enough for him they are good enough for me.
