Great projects! When gluing vinyl I found using a small roller to apply extra pressure made for a strong bond. Any tips on the adhesive used for the trim? Thank you for all of your videos! I tell anyone working on these kinds of things to your library - it's great!

@sailriteworkbench thanks for the lesson. I have scratches in the hard plastic panels in the door, dash and backs of the seats in an elantra...it's molded to look like leather. How do I remove surface scratches please?
