ArmorAll can fix many thing, but maybe not help that lol

Well, by the looks of the pic, there isn't any on it so it's more noticeable.

I don't use armorall products. I have found that over time it will dry and crack the dash. I think I'm going to try the dye/paint. Question is, what kind and where do I get it?

Small amount of black shoe polish and buff it in the scratches..Then use some interior cleaner/protectant. Should make it not as noticeable.

Stoners "Trim Shine" will help that look better...

Trim Shine is an easy-to-use, spray-on coating that instantly shines dull or faded plastic, vinyl, and rubber with no wiping or rubbing. Just spray and walk away!

Interesting idea. Could work.

You always have good advise. Would you use this first, or try some of the other suggestions first?

Unless you know what you're doing, I don't recommend messing with it yourself, especially dye -- you'll feck it up way worse (been there, done that).

Why not take it to an interior repair specialist? When I lived in Utah there was a place called "Mingo's" that was awesome at this kind of thing...I'm sure it's not an uncommon type of shop. I'd ask your dealer who they recommend. Stuff like this happens all the time to new cars pre-delivery that the dealer outsources for repair.

There is a very reputable shop around the corner from my house. They do a lot of work for local dealerships (tint, clear bras, wheels, stereos, etc.). I'm going to stop by on Monday and see if they can help.

Keep the ideas and suggestions coming! I really appreciate everyone's help with this.

Just get a replacement from Nissan Parts, NISMO and Nissan Accessories - Courtesyparts.com

I use masking tape (painter's blue) when doing installs.

I use Prima Nero for interior plastics and rubber. Aerospace303 is also a good solution.

I would prefer to not spend $275.00 on this if I don't have to. At least not right now.

You could scratch up the rest of the interior and then everything would match :)

What I've found for this type of stuff, you can use your fingernail to remove some of the scuffing. You can also carefully use some sand paper to smooth it out and don't go too fine as you will remove the textured finish and it will look bad. Maybe try to fine tune the sanding in the areas where the scratch is with your finger/fingernail under the sandpaper rubbing that area. Just work slow and see if you can get it looking better. I did that with my G35 and it worked pretty well on the interior which looks exactly just like the interior of my 370.

If not then no loss and just buy a new one!
