Have since armour all'd the car which only hid the problem for a couple of weeks.Can anyone help me with a solution??

Weird thing is, in some places you can scratch it with your fingernail and the top coat comes off. but no amount of wiping with products removes it.

I was going to order one, I thought it might help reduce the damage from UV and the Sun in summer... 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/75212-dash-mat-has-scuffed-dash-pad/#findComment-1249271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dash pad is scuffed as well, and now the reflection off the dash into the windscreen is crap too.
