    I've had my v for about a year and I find that I have many scratches and gouges especially in the cargo area. The plastic seems much easier to damage than any car I've ever had. I'll need to be especially careful in the future. But I would like to find a way to cover up, seal or patch the damages. I've tried everything recommended at the auto parts store and nothing seems to help.

    Has anyone found a solution the repairing blemishes and scratches in the soft Prius c plastic?

    Aloha,
    Try using a vinyl repair kit for the scratches. If there is a gouge, with the plastic bent back, try a heat gun to bring it back.
