Default Interior scratches!

I have a practically new 07 with only 12200 miles. These door switch bezels are so scratched it just ruins my nice interior. Whats the best way to repair?

Seriously this should be a recall since everyone is having this problem.

Already a huge thread on this topic:

If it's really bad just replace it and try to not hold your keys in your hand when opening the door:

Wrap it in Di-Noc. (search for threads on the topic, there are many of them)...I've been dealing with small interior scratches for a while. It's not too big of a deal, it can be fixed.

Were you able to disassemble the waterfall door so you redo the button as well?

Do they make carbon fiber a matte or flat finish? That shiny stuff will clash with the rest of the interior.

Yes, you would want to go with the 3M DI-NOC vinyl since that will give you that flat finish you are looking for.
