Pics would help determine what might work best.

its not like scratches into the dashboard, but more like it just needs to be "polished" up

I have a few slight scratches near glove box, if they are scratches nothing will take them out.

I've got the same problem, except I have a couple that are visible from when I HAD to take my dog in my car. There not deep and I can't feel them, but they are visible during the day. Every product I have used just makes them stand out even more.

im gonna try a light wet 400 grit sand, maybe higher. I think if you take it easy and dont round it too much you get sand them away.
