Arrow Int Dash Scratches Removal ?

I am hoping there is a solution to this as its driving me nuts.

My Rams Dash has a few scratches that are very light but very apparent.

Maybe someone can suggest a polish or technique that's used to remove these light surface dash scratches.





Thanks
Pete

Try steel wool to flatten the scratch,

Steel wool (double zero) is very fine. Maybe srpay a bit of water on dash to lubricate. My dog jumped upon the side of my Durango and put fine scratches near the window. I used very fine sandpaper to take them out, as this may work for the dash. I think it was 1500 grit sandpaper,

Well i gave the Super Fine Steel Wool a try today and it worked except it screwed with the finish a small bit.

That area is a little bit grayer/duller now ? I tried using some protectants/Armor All and it helped but it still visible, do u have any chem/polish suggestions, or is should i leave it alone ?

Here is an example of the plastics texture.



Thanks
Pete

Maybe a coat of wax or cleaner wax (mildly abrasive) will restore the shine,
