Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal
I don't think that you will be able to correct that. You are thru the top layer/material and into the substrate/under layer. Sorry to say it's not going to get any better than this. You will have to replace that trim piece.
Keep the old one and experiment some more to see what may be possible...
Re: Tesla Model 3 Center Console Scratch Removal
Yeah, definitely, specially if I can't figure out what chemical or compound reacts favorably with that particular material/coating.
I believe that if I had sanded away any particular layer, I should at least see some smoothing out of the remaining material, but hardly anything changes at all. That's what amazes me.
I was hoping that someone had had a similar experience with a positive outcome...

I agree that it looks like it is beyond polishing repair. It would require a repaint if you choose to just reuse this piece. Could be a good DIY project.

Honestly it looks exactly how a wet-sanded part normally looks like - nothing different. The problem is this kind of material or coating just doesn't level up like a traditional clear coat.
