I’m starting to notice some very fine superficial scratches on those black polished inserts on the center console. What are people using to buff them out? I don’t want to create any swirl marks when I try to polish them out. Any suggestions?

I guess its some sort of plastic but I think the scratches would eventually come back again with a polishing compound. Never tried anything Personally.

I'd guess once you have scratches, you have scratches. Thankfully I don't think I'll have to worry about that as my inlays will be in exterior color GTS. I've seen these replacements elsewhere and you may consider in either CF or leather.

This is the only practical way to prevent it.

My 2020 C4S was hammered after 6 months. Wrapped my turbo GT and turbo S since day one. Scratches will never be an issue, though it lacks the piano black luster. It’s not impossible for the do it yourself person. Just make certain you are in a well lit dust free environment.
