How do you fix scrathes in the interior?
I have a few scrathes around the dash that I would like to get fixed, but I don't want to tae it in anywhere. I'm a DIY kind of guy.

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can remove/ conceal the scratches?

No pictures yet. All I can tell you is that they are on the right side of the dash, about an inch left from the radio trim.

they aren't too bad, but I notice them all the time.

Keep heat gun over scratch and pass over it a few times, try with low settings first. That's what I read from autopia, please don't held me liable for any damages.

I used to have a heat gun when I worked electronics on planes. Be very careful, maybe a warm hair dryer might work just as well.

RX8 dies on idle. Can this be caused by a dirty air box, filter, intake?
