I have a lot of fine scratches on that center panel and wondering what do you guys use ? Thinking about Novus 2/1 or Plastx. Not not exactly sure what material the panel is made of? Real wood with plastic cover?

​​​​​​TIA

Here is the way overboard answer! I am curious about this as well. I have been thinking about getting the matte black wood grain center piece for my car, but I can't decide how that will look with shiny brown wood on all the doors.

Yes, glossy finish is really annoying (cars, electronics, etc). So easy to scratch and shows all imperfections.

Yes - Novus 2 works fine - think of it as "liquid clay bar" - use "large pea" size at a time - you might consider a "acrylic" wipe on exterior finish product.
