Scratched Center Console... Help Needed!
 
Earlier today I was working on a stereo upgrade and I managed to scratch the center console several times. Although the scratches are small, there are enough of them to make it look terrible. They are very small and shallow. Does anyone have any tips for making them look better?

I’m so pissed at myself. Normally I’m so meticulous with stuff like this.

Any and all help will be most appreciated.

That's weird. O-Well!

I'm no expert, but I can't think of any way to really repair something like that.

I wonder if buffing it with something would help? I just don't know what to use?

Well if I can't make it look at least a little better, I may just opt for that.

If you try to buff it in any way, it's going to ruin the textured finish, and probably look even worse. Best bet is to replace it and chalk it up to a lesson learned :D

Maybe a black dye/paint on a cloth? If you rub it right you might be able to get it just fill the scratches and wipe off the rest of the material, could reduce the visibility of them a lot.

That's an idea. Thanks!

Keep em coming!

That's a good idea.

Ya don't try the buffing. The dye will do the best job - hard part finding the black black

Put some ArmorAll on it, and call it a day :tiphat:
