How to "buff" out dash wood trim and alcantara headliner.

awesoM · 08-15-2022, 11:35 AM

On a long family trip to Toronto and we had a couple of uh ohs,

1) go pro windshield suction failed and dropped and hit the wood trim. There is a bit of a mark (no dent), trying to see what folks have used to "buff" it out.

2)alcantara liner is awesome.. except in the trunk/cargo walls. When pulling the cover to close it, it caught on the seatbelt and was out of alignment during the close and scratched the side. Is there a way to make it less noticeable?

So far about 600 miles doing about 19.5 MPG with a lot of spirited driving going between adaptive and sports plus!! Tried eco pro and I almost fell asleep.

Thanks

Here is a pic of the scuff. Advise is welcome. Just don't want to make it worst….

Magic eraser might work. Tricky as you don't want it shinier or more matte compared to the area around it
