Scratches and stuff

Anyone else notice how easy the dash, glove box, door panels and stuff scratch? It's mostly on the passenger side go figure. People can't seem to keep their feet from hitting everything. I have scratches, not just scuffs but scratches in my glove box already and the door panel. Doesn't it seem that's a little too easy to scratch those? Should be able to wipe it off but it won't. Sorry just venting but I hate blemishes in an otherwise perfectly new car.

That's plastic 4 ya

Advice: get yourself a good plastic/vinyl/rubber protectant (Maguires) and cross your fingers.

Yes I've noticed. I have a nice scratch just below and to the left of the radio. I'm guessing it came from a key when reaching for the steering column. Oh well...

Yikes!

Maybe you can try to polish out the scratches with a little tootpaste or some other mild abrasive? Test it out on a small inconspicuous area first.

Not just the Evo, any car with black interior shows scuffs on the door sills, etc. If you can't live with scratched interior parts, order new ones. They usually aren't too expensive.
