Thanks for the recommendation. I just ordered a bottle to try out. I got into car detailing a few years ago as hobby. Over the years I have practiced the art and watched countless youtube videos from various pro detailers. I have tried various products and always focus on the results. When I first started I used Armor All stuff like a lot of people as they seem to be everywhere in retail stores. Now whenever someone mentions that name I almost throw up in my mouth a bit. In my experience their products are at the bottom of the barrel. I haven't seen one that is half decent yet.
I got the Interior Detailer, and although there are no marks on either the ES or the NX, it does a great job on the dash, door panels and console's surfaces. Much better than even Meguiar's Ultimate Interior spray.

I have a 2020 with brown interior. A couple of days ago I received the car and it was heavily scratched. I was very disappointed, I even thought of buying the lower piece of the dash. I came across this brown shoe sponge and I tried to “polish” the lower part. The color is 100% the same, matte look and the dash looks brand new again.
This is it:
Also, the best thing to clean this dashboard is this:
I hope this helps.
I’m not sure if you can find Casablanca sponges in the US.
Seems that Casablanca shoe polish is only available in the U.K. and Europe but I don't think that I'd use it anyway. It's more like you're painting the dash rather than cleaning it. I'd worry about summertime and the heat. If the photo of your dash is accurate, it certainly looks like you've covered the marks. Looks like new... Good Luck with it...
I’ve been using the armor all interior protectant because I had it here at the house and it seems to hide scratches pretty well but you do have to reapply. It doesn’t dry shiny or wet and leaves a nice natural finish, and it’s cheap🤣
None of the products mentioned will remove a scuff/scratch. They will simply make the scuff "wet" by adding a layer of protection and it blends in better with the rest of the dash. Once that product dries out or is removed, then your obvious scuff is back. Fixing the molding requires way more work than a simple wipe of a product. So with upkeep and reapplication of product, of course it'll stay blended better, but without it, you're back at square one. You're basically putting a band aid on it with these products.
I agree, but to think these products fix or remove the actual scuff is false. I personally maintain my car quite often so it's getting wiped down and protected at least once every week or every other week. I too have some scuffs on my current daily and they definitely are less noticeable after a good wipe down.

I agree. There is no magic solution and one should expect scuffs to arise. I do not allow any bags in my car-- that's why I have a trunk. Lol.

There is a solution and it’s to get Lexus to change the material that they’ve been using for the dashboards on the 2019-2022 ES vehicles with better quality materials and to also replace all the dashboards on all 2018-2022 ES vehicles with brand new ones that are made from better quality material.
Does this particular dashboard problem also affect the IS300 and the IS350 vehicles that are made in Japan too? Or does the dashboard problem only affect the 2019-2022 ES350, ES300h and ES250 vehicles? Which vehicles are affected by the dashboard problem?
