Hey guys, today I wanted to show you how to remove scratches from a wood grain interior dash.
This is a luxury car. It seems that someone had put their feet up on the dash here
which has created a lot of swirl marks in the veneer; this is wood veneer.
This is another type of finish here and you can see the gloss finish here has a lot of swirls
and it looks pretty beat-up.
So I'm going to show you today how to remove these scratches.
I have here some Scratch X by MeGuire's X 2.0 this is for fine scratches and blemish removal.
I also have some paste wax from from McGuire's this is the ultimate paste wax
and I have two microfiber cloths. Always use microfiber.
You can see here I taped off the area and the reason for that is you don't want to get any
compound or wax on leather. Okay, this is a leather surface up here above the veneer
and below this panel, this is also leather.
If you get wax into the leather, you're going to have white marks that you're not going to want and not be happy.
You don't have to use a lot of the scratch remover.
This is about the amount you should use and then you can start rubbing it in
the area where the scratches are.
You just keep rubbing it until you see that those swirl marks and scratches are gone.
The tape that I'm using is a 3m blue tape used in painting, things like that.
Then on the top here I have some scratches up there I just want to remove.
and afterwards I want to take a dry part of this microfiber and just wipe this area down.
Now if you have a leased car and you return it with excessive wear and tear
from your kids or somebody else putting their feet on the dash this is a good way to remove it.
That looks beautiful! So now we're gonna take
So now I'm gonna take another microfiber (cloth). Let's make sure I have everything off for the compound.
I'm going to take another microfiber rag and it's going to take a little wax,
compound wax, you can use spray wax also. That would work fine.
Again, you don't want wax on your leather. If you get wax on the leather it's not going to come out.
You're gonna have a lot of problems trying to remove that from the surface.
Just gonna give that a minute to dry and then we'll wipe it off it'll be like brand new.
You can see it's starting to get a haze.
I have the Sun coming directly in over here so it's
beating on this wax so it'll dry very quickly and now I'm going to start wiping down...
and you have to put a little pressure on it when you're compounding using the scratch remover.
You have to put pressure on, it's just not wiping on and just take it off. You have to apply even pressure.
After you wipe it down once, change the location that you're wiping it down on the microfiber rag.
If you get a little bit of compound or wax in here just use your nail to get it out of that groove.
It comes right out.
There it is it took all the swirl marks out. It's probably 99% better than what it was.
And i'm very very happy with the results. Thanks for watching!
