I've had this ongoing problem with my keys dangling from the ignition and scratching the dash. Yes, I know I could just have the truck key on a clip but I don't.... Well, I came across a clear laminate that's actually designed to protect the faces of electronic gizmos like blackberrys, cell phones, etc. I adhered it to the dash area right below my ignition and * voila * no more scratches! It's clear and has a gloss sheen to it but it's hard to tell that it's there. You can find out more here: www.BestSkinsEver.com I ordered Item No. 1021 - click on "DIY Custom Skins" in the left side menu bar. It cost $6.99 + $2.00 shipping.

There used to be "scratch guard" things that went behind the ignition switch and followed the contour of the dash down a bit.
I don't know if they were a factory or after market thing. They disappeared when keys went to the steering column. I had a 1953 Merc that had one. This is just some of the worthless knowledge that is running around in my head.
Best wishes,
