    For some years I've had scratches on the top of the dash of my 2012. Since the dash is textured it's not a matter of just polishing; from what I've read, you need to heat the plastic and apply a "graining pad" to regain the texture. But of course, you have to get a graining pad that matches the existing grain--something that's pretty tricky online, among other problems.

    Has anyone seen such a pad that would match a 2012 Prius IV's dash? (top/right, near the vents and close to where it meets the windshield).
