So today at the car wash (all car washes are nasty) they pretty much scratched the glossy piano panel around the shifter by using a dirty rag inside the cabin.
So I decided to really see if I could get rid of these scratches, so I taped around the shifter properly and did the following:
1- Plastic X
2- Meguiar's Ultimate Compound
3- Meguiar's Ultimate Polish
4- Meguiar's Clean and Wax
I applied quiet a little bit of pressure on the panel when rubbing with the pad. Overall very happy with the results, deep scratches are less visible but not completely removed and light scratches are gone.
IMO this is the most annoying part in our cars, these glossy parts look excellent but COME ON!!! Mazda should have used a different materials.
Finally if we really look for the scratches we'll find them, at least in my mind I feel that I did something to remove the scratches and that makes me feel less worried and annoyed
Provided some pictures, the first is before doing the procedure mentioned above, and the second is after, maybe judging from the pictures there is not a big difference but there is
