Dash scratches remedies

[rrdowns]

I scratched my dash on my 2026 Ranger XLT while vacuuming at a car wash. It’s on the honeycomb section just to the left of the gauges. Don’t notice it from drivers seat, but highly noticeable when entering the truck. Any suggestions I attached photos.

I would try 303 protectant to see if you can sorta buff out the scratches, if not maybe find something close to that color sharpie and cover them up.

I was thinking about the sharpie idea, but was afraid of making it look worse. I think it’s similar to a scratch on clear coat, if I could hide to color of the scratch , it wouldn’t show too much.

I have used CarGuys Plastic Restorer with good luck on interior plastic that has been scratched. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071FRWWRF?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_9&th=1

Tried the Sharpie idea, didn’t care for it. Black Sharpie leaves a slightly purple look on a dark gray surface.

Tried the CarGuys Plastic Restorer. The trick is to apply a heavy coat and let dry for 24 hr. That was the hard part, keeping my hands off for 24 hr.
So far, scratch is not visible.
