Can anyone tell me whether there is a product which can remove the scratches in my dashboard as seen below:



Any help would be much appreciated.

Not without affecting the grain sorry. you can try and hide them a little though by coloring them in.

Vinylex might help with those
I have had some success with these 'magic sponges too'


try this link

some scratches will be too deep however, but for a couple of quid the sponge might be worth a go, its really good on scuff marks.

The magic sponge sounds good.

I use a tiny bit of matt or satin black paint worked in with the finger then any excess wiped off.

how is it going to 'remove' a scratch ffs?

if it can remove a scratch it must also remove surrounding material

so it's got to be some kind of filler/coating

but for a couple of quid, surely worth a try

I think the advice:

'try on an inconspicuous area first'

might be wise in this case

I understand your cynicism but you hit the nail on the head with your final comment. I also did a quick google search and found some pictures of its use:
