Default Dash repair

Well, I finally found a brownstone dash to replace my peeling one. Unfortunately, it has 2 scuffs. I believe 1 will be covered by the trim above the steering wheel. The other scuff is what I'm more concerned with. Any suggestions on repairing it? Has anyone repaired scuff on their dash?

Spot at the passenger door

Spot above steering wheel (not as worried)

I'm in contact with the supplier and I will ask for a replacement if necessary. It is so big. I want to try and salvage it.

update: supplier is sending another one

You have one coming, but in the future get in touch with your local dealer and see who they use for touching up interior blemishes on their cars. There are businesses out there that can make a blemished interior look like new.

I ruined my C6 dash by trying to put the letters in the corvette logo on the passenger side. All the black around the logo was stained and faded from the adhesives I was using. I went to the dealer and they had this guy come in and he re- died that part of the dash and put the texture to match. It was perfect and looked brand new. They charged me $125. That was like ten years ago but the point is yes they fix this kind of stuff.

Thanks. The latest update is that they will start the process Monday so I'll contact my dealer to see if they can fix it.
