Why do you have scuff marks on the dash?

I have the dash. Makes my stomach turn. I want to cover it. Any ideas how I could go about doing that?

try some Prima Nero or Aerospace303. they will minimize scuffage. i use Prima Nero (available through amazon).

actually, it's best to put the stuff on BEFORE you get any scuffs cause it coats a matte (yet slick) barrier so your shoes and stuff do not catch.

Maybe try a Mr Clean Magic Eraser? That might do the trick. I read on a few other forums it was good to get shoe scuff marks off of the panels. Give it a try!

no, dont use the magic eraser. it's an abrasive and will make the area white. i'd keep that thing in the kitchen sink and stove tops.
