scuff marks

i was just wondering if anybody else had problems with the dash board ( on the passenger side) with scuff marks .its seems like anytime somone rubs ther pants on it, it leave a mark and it wont come off. ive tried scrubing it with armor all and the marks just wont come out

Recently bought a used 09 F150 and there are several scuffs on the passenger side as well. I briefly tried rubbing them off, but no luck. I wasn't too worried about them so have just left them as is. The dash material does feel "softer" than my old 01 F150.

I have similar issues on the passenger side. I have also tried armor all with no success.

I hate Armour All, or any product that makes my dash shiny. Good old soap and water is all I ever use to clean my inside. The glare is god awful, and as a bodyman, silicone is not my friend.

Mines scratched as well. If it gets bad enough I might try something silly like fine grit sandpaper.

its pretty easy to scuff up the dash, when you have a super cab and when the passager side has their seat moved up for the person in the back.the scuffs wouldnt bother me so bad if they happen they way you guys are thinking lol

You are 100% right, It does scuff easy, My wife just touch it with her rings and it put a scratch in it, I did work on it for about 2 hours and found that the hair dryer trick did 98% removed it. Just be careful don't get it hot in one spot to long..

Yes be careful,I was the same way but I said if I damage worse then it is I will replace the dash... So with that said I put the hair dryer on "MED" AND WENT SLOW NEVER STOPPING IN ONE PLACE. I will say it looks great my wife could not fine where it was scratched. Good Luck..

I will have to try this, my son threw his hockey skates in and one of the blades put a 1" nick in my dash Now the skates, and anything else he puts in the truck, goes in the back seat.
