Question Ugh with the dash!

I've had my f-sport just under 3 months, and I swear the "nu-luxe" on the dash scratches itself! I have never put anything up there other than the sun shade, yet I have 3 or 4 scratches in the material. I tried cleaning it with Meguiar's Interior but it made no difference. Any idea how I can make those scratches go away? I'm sure they wouldn't bother everyone, but to me they are glaring.

I'll be interested to hear how this comes out. My dash has no scratches, but I would find them really distracting.

do you use a windshield sunshade and can it be from that?

16 FSport no scratches on dash.
Mine is fairly smooth and tough feeling, i.e. Tried scruffing it up with finger nail.
No scruff.

However! The 17 RX FSport has very different material.
Dash easily scuffs up just touching it.
I can smooth out the scruff marks with a fiber cloth and InnerClean.

scratches by itself? maybe you have a nocturnal visitor inside your vehicle. I'm on my second NX and don't have anything like that to report, I also put a sunshade every day.

I had a scratch early on, but it doesn't bother me too much, barely notice it unless I point it out. But aside from that one scratch, mine has been fairly clear of random scratches.

Washed the car and checked for any interior or exterior scratches today....

Turns out I am scratching the right side interior entry area of the luggage compartment when loading my golf clubs (doggone long Ping driver!), but I found no scratches anywhere else, and I too have used a sunshade most every day for the last month.
