Shift **** scratch?

So, i just got my 37S and few days ago and already I have a small scratch on the top of my shift **** in the brushed aluminum. I'm only being **** about it because I bought the car on Friday, but is there anyway to fix it? Any help appreciated.

Get some Maguiar's ScratchX. It'll get those door handle scratches right off.

my sister had a g35x brand new and had those scratches on the shifter, saw it during the PDI, they fixed it and replaced it the next week.

i think he means the interior door handle scratches...unless you're saying scratchx will remove those as well...?

if your handle or shift **** get scratched, just take it to the dealer and make up some problem with the car.. engine whining, windows making noise, tapping from the dashboard.. anything.

and thenw hen you get it back, tell them theres a scratch on your door handle/shift **** and it wasnt there when you dropped it off.

they'll likely just replace it

Yeah, I thought he meant the exterior. Not sure if it would work on the interior. Would probably need something more coarse, but hey, worth a try. Not a bad thing having a tube of scratchX around.
