Default Scratch Marks On Dash

Ok guys, I've searched and searched but can't seem to find a post that applies to my question.

I have a couple scratch marks on my dash — namely on the glove compartment door — and don't know what I could use to make them less obvious. The texture of the dash makes scratches very apparent (as I'm sure you all know). It's not a huge deal, but I'd love to fix it. It seems that the harder I try to keep my car perfect, the more things tend to happen.

I'm not that car savvy, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. :D

Thanks!

For the glovebox, go and buy a wax By Turtlewax that comes in colors.- Buy the BLACK bottle. The Black wax has some colorant in it that will stain plastic black. Put a little on you finger and rub ALOT. This works great for my xB.

The tC has more of a grey interior right- you could use black wax- but Ive have also seen it in grey- I would give this a try- The wax runs around 6 bucks at Wal Mart....


as for you xbKreative, Take a Micro fiber towel and get it damp with some warm water and ring it out good. Then simple wipe the dash down, and after a few wipings, you should get it all of....PS- dont ever wipe off your dash if its hot from the sun- make sure its in the shade- you can pull the color from the dash if you wipe it while its hot!!!
Ohh and also buy a dash brush to wipe any exess lint off

Good luck!

There was a pretty good scratch on my tC's glove box when I picked it up, the service guy tried to fix it, but said that it was a "texture scratch" or something like that and he couldn't fix it. They ordered me a new glovebox and am still waiting for their call.
