Scratch on back armrest panel
 
So last night I brought some chick back and I remember her reaching into my backseat to grab something and after cleaning up all the glitter and strands of hair everywhere I wake up today to find this scratch:

It wasn't their before so I figured a ring she had on or something grazed the surface and made the scratch. I'm OCD when it comes to having any visible scratches of any sort like this and I understand shit like this happens, but does anyone know of a filler or anything where I could cover this? It seems to be a surface scratch because my fingernail doesn't catch on the scratch and it doesn't rub off with water on a cloth. I

Any ideas?

I know this sounds silly and some people could careless if their was a scratch their, but I figured I'd ask.

Thanks

Polish maybe? Either way that sucks... OCD is some serious shit, so I know that shit is bothering you. Would bug the piss outta me.

Just learn to forget about it. I used to be like this, but these things will happen no matter how much you baby the thing. Just drive it like it was meant to be driven and enjoy your ride! I have some of these interior scratches too.. It's not a $100k car. On a side note, you can maybe try some kind of dye (as best color matched as possible), ever so sparingly on that surface. Tape it off first.

..or get your interior pieces wrapped with alcantara.

keep applying 303 aerospace... it will feed the plastic. DO NOT POLISH, that would look terrible with that texturing.

To avoid this in the future, use Duct Tape.

Thanks for the recommendation. Can you link me to the product you'd recommend? I tried searching, but their are so many products by 303 and I'd hate to get the wrong one and make it worse :bonk:

Its just the 'protectant' HERE

Marina stores stock it.

As someone said, it's a Subaru interior that scratches when you look at it. :(

Buy a new piece if it bothers you that much

I'm sure a local trim repair shop could easily repair this damage. Call your local dealer and ask their Used Car Manager who they use.
