Dash Scuff Marks Tidy Up

[ashneel]

Hey guys I want to neaten up my interior and have noticed around the HU surround the dash has scuff and scratch marks on it, so instead of going down the expensive path was wondering if there’s anything that can be done as a DIY to repair it??? I believe its plastic so sand back and dye it maybe?

And just to be clear this is part of the dash board that runs along the side of the centre console

f**king sigh

every time i see these marks it just shits me up the wall.

look at how bad they are

previous owner said audio install was done by professionals. thats bs right there. look at all that damage.

i was thinking about wet sanding it with very very very fine sand paper then dye it but ye

that sucks

ouch that looks ugly I'd take it to a trimmer to get it fixed up

[ashneel]

ye. was thinking about living with that till mid next year then get whole dash done in matt black dye or something

but ye it just brings the whoe interior done

Damn man i feel your pain i went to a well known audio installer in sydney and got the same outcome!

On top of that previous owner painted or covered my trim with some sort of sticky crap that usually goes in the engine back to make it shiny, and after months now its coming out.

So i grabbed a cloth and thinner, and now gotta remove all this ugly moist cover like thing..

Never knew the audio surround was meant to be grey.
