As plastic components become more prevalent on auto exteriors, it's becoming crucial to know how to properly refinish these parts.

Most of us baby boomers can remember this particular scene from "The Graduate": Benjamin Braddock, played by Dustin Hoffman, has just returned home from school, having graduated with honors from college but with no idea of what to do with his life.

Today, it's up to 257 pounds. What does this mean? Plastic is displacing metal alloys in modern car design and manufacturing, and its use will continue to rise - meaning the number of times you'll be refinishing plastic will also continue to rise.
