Default Scratch on interior black plastic


anyone know how to fix this? It seems like the Valet at work doesn't seem to understand that the car is keyless and has a start button. Only noticed it after the fact.

The scratch isn't deep enough to catch with a finger nail which is good, but is still visible from the passenger side.

I'd try a light paint polishing compound.

Any good vinyl UV protectant should make that blemish virtually invisible.

maybe mother's Back to Black, and then forget about it. Messing with it will probably make it more visible.

Either that, or replace the part.

Another affirmation of my policy that no valet every touches my car.

Wish i have that option, but my work place forces the valet on us when parking spots are no longer available.
