Hi everyone. I recently purchased an '09 IS350 here in socal (black int.) and noticed a 6-7 inch scuff-like horizontal line across the driver's side dash. I also found it on three other random IS's I checked in parking lots/dealerships, so this may be a factory issue I'm guessing. (checked on a 2009 is250, 2006 is350, 2008 is250 -- did not find it on 5 other 09's checked) It is usually visible if you park under a flourescent light roughly 6 or more feet above the car (i.e. dealership lights) or if you use a flourescent flashlight and hold it slightly above the windshield indoors. When you look at it at an angle through the windshield leaning towards the drivers seat standing next to the side view mirror, it can be seen clearly. It is roughly the thickness of a wedding ring band and it runs across the dash about 6-7 inches long. You can also see it under sunlight when the sun is at an 70 degree angle above the car, otherwise you won't see it at all which is the strangest thing about it. Any ideas on what it is & how to get rid of it? I have searched the boards & have not found any info regarding this...Please check out my pix. Thanks.

I got that on the passenger's side. How you fix it?

kinda sad if it's normal don't ya think. i just bought it, so I guess Lexus' slogan "pursuit of perfection" would not apply in this circumstance... all in all a great car though, but the interior material is painful to deal with. Just close the glove box a little out of the norm and SCUFF! Do you think interior detail sprays can get that out???
