Default dash scratch repair help, suggestions?

Whatever material Honda used on these dashes doesn't take well to abrasions. Witness the effects from a little beach sand on a surfboard bag. D*mn... Minor scratches appear as white and the scratch starts to "feather" if rubbed. Looking for tips on how best to cover this up.

You can try Leather Magic. I used it before on a leather Lexus steering wheel and armrests, but vinyl should be the same stuff. The repair didn't last too long, but that is because the oils on my hands were always touching the steering wheel, etc. It will look like new.

If you try out the leather magic, drop a line back here, let us know if it works well, I have few kniks around my radio from pulling it out so many times...

I can't imagine owning this car without having a sense of humor... maybe that's what "Insight" is really about.

I have yet to attempt a cover up on the dash. The leather magic looks like a pretty good solution.
