In this video, learn how to remove scratches from the dashboard of your Nissan Qashqai (this method works for any car). First, adjust the steering wheel all the way towards you and lower it for comfortable access. Also, remove the side cover of the dashboard and the air vent, which is clipped in, as well as the lower part of the dashboard.

This will allow you to work properly and remove the transparent cover. It may seem like a big job, but they are just clips.

The YouTuber even shows how to bevel a corner to avoid removing the entire centre console (which would otherwise be necessary). Remove the top part of the steering wheel, and now you can take off the instrument panel trims for better access.

To clean the transparent plexiglass, you will need specific polish designed for headlights. Once cleaned, simply refit everything, starting with the instrument panel trims and working backwards through the rest.
