Default Sprucing up the Interior...I Hope!

I've found a couple of chips/scratches in my interior of my 2003 C2. While not big, my eye gets drawn to them everytime I sit down to start the car. I've got a small scratch on the steering wheel near the crest and a couple of small chips on the trim near the cupholder.

Has anyone had any luck repairing these kinds of chips to interior components? I don't want to make things worse, but if I can improve the situation easily, I'd like to do so. Any success stories would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Sumner

I'd suggest calling in a professional. Seriously.

I had my interior spruced up as there were quite a few small leather dings and one major problem on the passenger seat (a botched DIY repair by the PO?) along with a scratch in the driver side vent housing and missing finish on the power seat surround. Took the guy a bit over 2 hours and cost me $300.00 and made a big difference.

I used the same guy the local Porsche dealer uses and the price seemed reasonable to me for what I got in return.

You could contact Dallas Steering Wheel regarding the scratch on the airbag...check ebay for a replacement surround...
