Ligh polishing compount worked like a charm on my E60 if you feel you are too close to the actual wood you can do a coat of clearcoat and the buff it out and polish

I got the same issue on my e90 lci, the centre console wood trim is all scratched up, i tried some fillers to hide it but it shows it's ugly face again later on, any good solution to get rid of this?

Thanks..

THANK YOU! I've been wanting to know this. Though, I've always been reluctant to use the orbital inside the car. It has a habit of flinging product everywhere.

When I did my E60 I took the trim off and polished holding it with clamps, otherwise I'd have made a great big mess of fling off inside the car
