    The only thing I found for the door panels, and the glove box door, is to use a silicon based spray that basically cleans the scratches, make them less visible by having a uniform dark look. The rugged surface make it difficult to stick anything to it. So, there goes the option on putting anything on it. Not sure you'd want that anyway. Cleaning and being careful is probably the only thing...other than driving it in complete darkness. ;-)

    I would check with your dealer's body shop (or Google) and see if they sell specific sets of protector films for this area of the Micra.

    If not, spend a few bucks on a good buff job while you're there (to get rid of those scratches) and then apply 3M or whatever film.

    The problem is not the inside panels, but the side skirts which are painted white. They come standard with the SR version but you don't have that with the S or SV. I will use 3M paint protection film. It's perfect for this.

    My inside panels and dash are still pristine.

    I bought the stuff. I just need a warm and nice weekend day to install it. I ended up buying a 24'' x 120'' from ebay, 3M brand.
