Hello all,first what I'd call a propper dissapointment.

The shiny/glossy black panel surrounding my gear leaver gaiter is already noticeably scratched up  only surface marks I know but still the car is like 2 months old,I think some strategic gloss black vinyl is called for.

It should receive an award for 'most scratchable surface'...

 

When I picked up mine a year ago, there were already some distinct marks across both the central console (again, gear lever gaiter area) and also around the radio unit. Managed to knock a few quid off the price. Have tried doing some minor work in improving it, but doesn't make a whole load of difference.

 

Then again, I came from a Ford where everything was pre-scratched from factory, so... baby steps

Don’t know if it helps but I used some finishing polish on low speed with a DA and spot pad on my carbon trim on the AMG to polish marks on that out, am planning on doing the same on the vRS. Might be worth a go for the Gloss Black??

Excellent idea Sasha but 

Way too much work on a brand new car !!!!!!!!!

Wrap sounds easier though especially as my DA is rubber ducked.This new car lark is looking more and more like it's not for me ..........lol

Got a few scratched on my gear surround as well, I now only use an microfiber cloth to dust inside now

The gear surround on the '17 SEL I drove Saturday looked like BA Baracus as the as the previous owner.
