How to remove scratches on the dash?

Ok, I was removing my old stock gauges in my ES for an OZ cluster. And let me tell me tell you, IT'S A BIATCH to remove! I don't care what anyone says!

But anyway...in the process, I scratched up the dash around the gauges. The top dash of our cars, u know the leather part where it kinda provides a roof over our gauges...? Yeh that part. It's all scratched up and even at one part is gouged(sp.). And to add, there are two scratches on the dash area around the steering wheel .

So any ideas on how to remove scratches, conceal them, etc.

I did the same thing awhile ago. I went to an upholstry place around my area and they patched up the scratches for around $100.

yeh that's kinda wut i said with my hubcap/steelies....I was gonna get rims anyways so I scuffed the hell out of the hubcaps. Peeps thought I lived in the city when I was putting my new ones on.

I work around my 2-tone gray scheme. It actually works for me.

so..discreet, how'd they do it?

Yeah just took it in, all I really know is he used some kind of powder cause there was residue over the dash (easy clean up), but it looks like he just sealed the gashes together w/ some kind of sealer/glue. I'll get pics if u looking for what it looks like after. You can still notice if you gaze and look for it, but other than that. Sweet!

The day I bought my car my ex decided it would be a good idea to climb from the drivers seat to the passenger seat. I was in the house at the time. In the process she dragged her shoe on the dash. If i use good dash cleaner/polish it goes away, but comes back when its dirty
