Any recommendations for interior vinyl/dash re-color/repair shop?

Have a handful of scratches on my TL's passenger side dash and they are a real eyesore. 4 scratches are thin, vertical and long, the others look more like scuffs. I've tried everything recommended on the forums (Meguiar's leather wipes, Meguiar's Supreme/Natural Shine vinyl protectant/cleaner, Meguiar's #40, and the 303 Aerospace) and all these products just make the dash look oily, but the scratches are still visible.

I'm wondering if anyone has an auto repair place they know of that specializes in interior vinyl repair around SoCal? I'm thinking something can be done aside from getting a brand new dash. Thanks for any leads.

Nevermind! Got it repaired today at a auto interior specialist down in SD. They lightly sanded down the vinyl to blend the scratches and then applied the exact same color code paint onto the passenger side dash and it looks like new now.

How much did they charge? What shop is this? How long did it take?

I have an s2000 with some lumps on the dash.

Thanks,
