Hi everyone, I’m new to the forum and looking for some help please with my 2019 N-Motion dashboard. Unfortunately after a trip to B&Q and bringing home some 2.4m rough sawn timber that was resting on my dashboard, I have scratched the dashboard whilst removing the wood. I’m gutted as I really look after the car!

Does anyone know of anything that can remove the scratches?

Or does it look like something a car cosmetic repairer would have to fix? If so can anyone recommend anyone? I live in Liverpool.

Thanks in advanced for any help. Pictures below:

oooohhhh,
They look nasty. I bet you were gutted.
Came across this video among many others on plastic repair.



Cutting compound would remove the light scratched but the deeper ones need filling first i guess.
I have bought that coloured T_cut before now to stain the plastic the same colour but not to the extent you have here.
The scratchwizard kit looks your best bet or similar.

Danny, welcome to the Forum ! , but your problem subject looks a disaster. As mrugby has posted these videos are great and informative, but the finished article relies on the DIY Guy trying to repair it and it does not always turn out as expected unfortunately. The problem is that the marks you will see everyday and IMHO I would consult a Specialist to take a look, it might well cost but you could well be happy with the job and less frustrated.
I have used what is called over here the “Lack Doktor” who are the Mobile Guys or go to a “Sattler” who over here are the Leather Repair / Renovation Guys but expensive.
You live and learn, I keep some old Towels in the rear of the QQ just for this reason, Wood Transport & Xmas Trees etc, the Tip is a little late but worth considering for the future - I hope you get it all sorted Dave 🤨

Thank you both for your replies. I don’t think I would have to confidence to try it myself using a kit. I have contacted two of those companies for a quote, so fingers crossed they come back reasonable. Thanks again
