Why Does the Car Dashboard Get Scratched So Easily When Wiped?
1 Answers
The dashboard protective cover has a relatively soft texture, making it prone to scratches even without using hard objects. For minor scratches that are not too deep, you can purchase some mirror repair liquid or repair paste to apply. Apply the repair paste or liquid to the scratched area, applying multiple layers if necessary. Wait for about 10 minutes to allow the repair liquid or paste to penetrate the scratch. Then, use a lint-free cloth to wipe the scratched area back and forth (avoid circular motions) for about 5-10 minutes. Finally, clean the dashboard with a non-woven cloth. For deeper scratches, you can visit a 4S shop for waxing or polishing. If you're concerned about future scratches, you can ask the staff to apply a paint protection film (PPF). After applying the film, avoid wiping the dashboard for the first few days to prevent scratches. If the scratches are too severe to repair, you may need to purchase a matching protective cover for the dashboard. Otherwise, the entire dashboard assembly might need replacement, as 4S shops rarely replace just the protective cover. Reasons why car dashboards get scratched so easily: Drivers need to see the information displayed on the dashboard to understand the car's driving conditions, which requires the dashboard cover to have good light transmission. Therefore, dashboard covers are usually made of plastic or acrylic, materials with relatively low hardness. Even wiping with tissues or rough cloth can easily cause scratches.
