ouch. yah, #400 might be too coarse and make the area whiter. if im going to sand it i would use more like #2000 and take my time use plenty of Prima Nero (or Aerospace 303 to lube while sanding).

if that was my car though, i would use a fireplace lighter and heat the scratch to get it back to the darker color. basically place the flame very close and then away and press the area using a bamboo chopstick. :D (no joke)

if that fails i would remove the console and paint it or send it in for CF wrap. :)

I like this approach and will attempt this tonight when I get off work. If I screw up that will give me an excuse to do the CF wrap......:tup:

Shoe shine works great
 
I tried most of the methods mentioned if nothing worked I was going to just have it vinyl wrabbed with carbon fiber vinyl but I went to Wal-Mart and paid $2.50 for some black kiwi shoe shine and it worked fantastic. Heres the result

Is that a controller switch for the jammers?

yeah the big botton on the right is the voice activation for the head unit and the others are all to the radar jammer.

Oh ok, I thought the large button was the jammer on/off.

I have the 9500ci as well. :tup:

Saves me all the time!! A couple times lately though It hasn't gone off and I have been pushing the limit and passed them... Luckily no tickets thus far

I wanna just perma turn off K and X bands. I've not seen any police officers using them. Only Ka band. I've only had 1 K hit that could have been a cop... But I have no idea.


My only complaint about the system is it gives you F/R Laser direction, but not for Radar so I know where to look.
