Steering Colum Key Marks
 

Bought an 08 LS with around 30k miles on it. Everything is clean, minimal swirl/scratch marks & the interior is in good shape, but the steering column is scraped up like a blind guy tried to put the key in every place but the ignition. Tried a little but of rubbing compound but it did nothing. It's really not a big deal but i've been kind of OCD since this is my first nice car (Prev ride, was a 97 Dakota that needed a paint job). Any suggestions??

I don't know how to help you but check out the marks on my rental car haha

hahahaa

they didn't expect it on the dash did they...

and i actually lean over and look where i'm putting the key. No scratch marks :)

yeah, thats exactly what mine looks like. No offense but i can't understand how people can do this? I don't look and maybe one time out of 25 I don't hit it on the first time.

I added a couple marks :lol:

There are pretty bad shank marks on the balt too

my car looks like the pic

my car looks pretty bad... but i feel like i didnt do it. haha. my car was moved to a few dealers... i may have added one or two..

Mines the same way. Why do all previous owners suck?? haha

^^^ tell me about it, I know exactly how you feel. People who don't take car of their new car should have their liscence taken away.
