?

I saw somewhere that this may help to hide them somewhat.

Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner

Vinyl & Rubber Cleaner/Conditioner is a complex formula that cleans, penetrates and rejuvenates vinyl and rubber surfaces. Durable protection that screens out damaging UV rays. Restores life and color. Leaves a rich, natural sheen, unlike the shiny synthetic coating of simple protectants. M4016 16 oz. (473 ml) $10.42 add to cart

what have you tried already? Do you know how you got them? Is it s scratch or a mark? Looks like a mark to me. If you are doing it yourself, you can try the Magic Eraser by Mr.Clean (found at places like W*lmart) or Plexus (not sure if it work).

It appears to be a combination of marks and scratches. Tried washing with upholstery cleaner and conditioner. I will try the Magic Eraser Idea and let you know how that worked.

I contacted Leatherique here is their response:From the CEO WOW now thats customer service
Hi John;
Yes, the dash is vinyl. You can do prepping, light crack filler, and then redye the scratches to blend them in.
What color is the dash?
We look forward to assisting you,

Take Care

How do you get scratches on your dash? No even our oldest car has scratches and its 16 years old. And i reccomend using Armor All Wipes for the dash and Meguair's leather wipes for the seats.
