Fixing scratches on interior panels?
I managed to put some moderate scratches into the rear passenger side panel (dark grey textured plastic). They are not bad, but you can see them in the daylight.
Short of replacing the panel, is there any known way to lessen their appearance? My forum search yielded nothing.
Thanks!

If the scratches are not especially severe, some of the protectant products may cover them well enough. I've heard good things about 303 Protectant.
When I scratched the spats around the right front wheel, I asked this question. The answers I got were Mother's trim dressing and "replace the piece - it's cheap". I've been using Zaino rubber/trim dressing. The scratches are still there, but they're not really noticeable now.

Try scrubbing with a Mr. Clean sponge... I don't know what's in that thing, but it does a great job at minimizing these types of things. Then dress with a good rubber/vinyl dressing like 303 protectant, Zaino rubber/plastic dressing or Vinelyex.

Strange but I've read elsewhere that you can rub it with a back of a spoon and it will help reduce it.

^^^ That does make sense! I'll have to remember that.
