Getting rid of faint blemishes above glove compartment
#17
I use the Adams interior cleaner and it works great on these spots. I previously used 303 protectant but when I switched over to the Adams product I realized the 303 gave it to much of a shine which I prefer the flat matte finish.

Another question regarding Adam's... Does this product actually remove the marks on the dash material or does it merely cover them up like the rest of the silicone based products?
Meguiar's, Armorall, 303, make the marks disappear - for a while - then they reappear after the coating dries. I'm dubious as to the result...

Haha... forget Adam's, 303 etc etc when it comes to interior (to put it in a nice word, was originally going to use another word.)
1Z is absolutely hands down the best. https://amzn.to/3zr3sch
This is known in the industry to be the leader. Detailers buy them in gallon sizes without labels. BMW contracts with this company for decades w/ their logo on it. Nothing else touches my interior for years. Almost a decade now. No shine. Just protection and a nice matte factory finish.
As far as marks:
*NO PRODUCT WILL REMOVE SCRATCH MARKS OR RESTORE TRIM*
MARKS ARE MECHANICAL. AND NEED MECHANICAL PHYSICAL REMOVAL.

I had same issue and the Adam thing worked well
I applied it twice (one in morning and another one at evening, same day) and it has been 2 months and those marks 90% gone/hidden

Nothing seems to get rid of the marks completely, but you minimize its appearance by cleaning it.
I've been using Griot's Garage Interior Cleaner. It can be used on every interior surface of the car, although I would not recommend it for glass or shiny plastic.
It wipes away clean and leaves no residue or scent.

This is all very disappointing. I have a scratch on dash above glove box on my very new Lexus. I’ve used Armor All. Helps but as soon as it dries, scratch re-appears.
I’ve had a little Miata for 26 years now that cost me less than half of what I paid for the Lexus. Same color dash on it and it’s constantly exposed to top-down sun light. It looks as new as it did the day I drove the car home.
Disconcerting.

I don't know what the material is on the dash but Lexus states that it's environmentally friendly. A poor choice whatever it is. Apparently the surface remains the same for 20, 21, MY cars...
The marks on my 2019 will be 3 years old in December...
