Removing dog claw scratches from the dash

[Nogaro Nitwit]

Does anyone have tips on removing these kind of marks from the dash of a 2005 allroad? I tried Armor All, but that didn't do much. Any other tips or tricks would be appreciated.

OP, coming in to this a bit late per your post date, however I would always avoid Armor All at all costs... Regardless, try using a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser with some gentle APC...

Try spraying the scratched area with a good amount of rinseless car wash solution (such as ONR diluted) and then go over the entire surface LIGHTLY with a few gentle passes of Magic Eraser, dampened with the same solution. Magic Eraser is melamine foam and it acts as a micro-abrasive; the ONR solution acts as a lubricating agent to limit the abrasion factor. Careful not to scrub too long or with too much pressure, as you can end up changing the sheen of the entire area. Instead, just try a few gentle passes, wipe the area dry, visually inspect carefully, then repeat as necessary until you have effectively blended the scratches with the surrounding area. Go slow and check your work very often. You'll be able to see how it's working and to determine how long to work.

Good luck.
