Default Scuff marks on dash, what dressing?

We have a low mileage '07 that has scuff marks on the dash, I think from putting up sun shields. The dash on our 2002 IS300 has the same marks on it. The dash cover material is very soft, so I think this must be a problem with others, too. Has any body found a dressing , treatment, repair, etc, that will minimize the scuffs?

If it is scuffed up badly then dressing can do some light masking of the discoloration of the light areas but that's about it. I would only use Griots Vinyl protector or 303 Aerospace Protectant.

+1 on the 303 Aerospace Protectant. In the 33 years I've detailed my cars I've never found anything better.

Next time try Griots and see how it compares. I have used both but and they are both equally as good but I tend to favor Griots because it looks better.
