I just picked up a 2011 GTI two days ago, and I noticed that on the passenger side of the dash, right where the airbag deploys, there is a 1" scuff. At first I thought this was just some glue or similar, but upon closer inspection, you can see that the outer layer of the dash is slightly scratched. I assume this happened when the car was being prepped or PDI'd, as I dont' think it would have made it out of the factory like this.
I tried some Meguiars Natural Shine protectant, but that didn't hide anything. I have some Mothers Protectant which I could try, but I find that makes the dash too black/greasy looking. I don't think any of these products will hide the scuff though - I need something with a filler.
It's not too bad, but in certain light the scuff is very evident. Whenever I look at the nav screen I can see it out of the corner of my eye. Sure, eventually this won't bother me, but because the car is so new, and that it's located right in the front of the dash, it's quite annoying.
Any ideas on what I can use to lessen the visibility of the scuff?
Thanks,
