Default Any way to fix a scratch on the dash? :o

A while back I was transporting a nice framed picture of a champ car barrelling down some track, with the view from the driver's eyes. Unfortunately I was dumb and used my S2000 to do this. WHile I covered the sharp corners with towels, I guess I messed up on one of em because there's a 4-inch long hairline-yet-noticeable scratch on the dash, to the right of where a navigation system would be on a JDM S2000.

Is there any way to repair such a scratch without buying and replacing the entire dash?

i got a few as well.

the solution is really is to just live with it or if it bothers you that much replace it

i choose to live with it and not even bother messing with it because it'll most likely make it worse than it is already

it's just a dash man. and it's in black too!

Why don't you try the "Marcus" solution: Black Sharpie!

Sometimes, treating your whole dash with something like 303 protectant will help hide the minor lines and scratches.

I have a small chunk of material missing on my steering wheel. I'm guessing my wife did it with her ring. Any suggestions? I can live with it, but I wouldn't mind if it could be fixed.
