Honda Crvs
"they were all pretty harsh in the plastic trims and stuff, even some Hondas in the mid 2000s. I remember the third Gen CRV's that the plastics in those marked really easily so especially in the load area where people load them up with cases and things like that and scratch them repaired lots of those in my time too. They repair pretty well, but still they they marked really easily in the process, so automatically they pretty quickly look tatty and and and ratty."
