Picked up a 08 Toyota Avalon a week ago and there`s some scratches on the passenger side dash which would appear to be from a small dog jumping on the dash.



They don`t seem to be deep but I did try some Griot`s Interior cleaner in hopes of buffing them out but it not working.



Any suggestions?

Hard to say without seeing. Is the surface vinyl? Or plastic? Or leather? Have you looked at it under magnification to see if it`s scratched? And if so, how deep? Is there dirt or transfer in the scratches?

Probably fixable. The company I use at the shop for all my interior repairs can repair almost anything. Check with a used car lot or reputable detail shop to find out who they use for interior repair.

If its plastic, it will probably be repairable with some filler and a re-spray.
