Hi
Any ideas on how to repair scratches to the interior trim/dashboard?

Hard plastics can be treated with one of those little blowtorches you get from Cape Union Mart.

Not much you can do with soft plastics.

Gently remove any offending burrs on the edges of a scratch with a fingernail. Then using the blowtorch, working very quickly and for a very short period just get the edges to soften. Works better id the scratch is more of a scuff.

Works a treat but you might want to practice a little on a scratch that is hidden from view.
