Default Small scratch on dash, need fix

I let a guy get in my car with a cardboard poster and before I could get in and help him with it he went and jamed it against my dashboard. Now I notice a small scratch on the dash about an inch and a half long. It isn't deep, just broke the surfice but you can see it. I tried Mcguires leather conditioner and even a small amount of shoe poish to no avail.
Does any one have any suggestions on how to make this blend in so it isn't so noticable? are there any leather repair kits out there that will color the edge of a scratch so it at least blends in?

FormulaRed,

I found this elsewhere on the net when I was looking to repair some cat claw marks in my door leather. I haven't ended up using but it certainly looks good. Though, the dash is not leather is it, some sort of vinyl.

Take a look

Thanks for the tip, I will look into it. What did you do with the cat scratches?

They are in the top of the door near the window and behind my line of vision whilst driving so I have learnt to ignore them but I tried a few things first.

They are small puncture marks actually through the leather, so I hooked them out flattened them down and polished the leatherette a few times and they have gradually become less and less noticeable. I keep meaning to order the leather repair but just haven't got round to it.

Good luck with yours
