How to remove very light 'scuffs' on soft touch dash ?

[Iaf]

HI there, I have a problem with my new model RX350h in that the (very) soft touch plastic used on the  dash/instrument binnacle has some  developed some soft 'abrasion' marks caused by wiping with what I suspect is a  too-dry  microfibre cloth used for cleaning the dust off the dash. These aren't actual scratches but I think is caused by the soft touch dash material being very soft. 

Does anyone have any thoughts about how to remove these marks please?

 

Thanks, Ian

It might just need an interior dressing - natural look dressing is best, something like detailed online natural dressing. 

Can dilute it down to get a matt finish and apply with a microfibre and buff it down.

If its actual scratches  then you won't be able to remove them unfortunately without a professional repair.

Thanks for this, I don't think it is actual scratches   more like a slight burnish or smoothing of the very fine soft touch texture. Do you have any ideas about brands I could look into?

If the gentle cleaning doesn't work, you can try using isopropyl alcohol. Dampen a clean, soft cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol (70% concentration or higher) and gently rub the affected area. Be cautious not to apply too much pressure to avoid further damage.

Thx for your help Flairbear the alcohol solution sounds doable with some care. The impact of soft touch finishes though visually great, does require a bit of care
