Repair Wheel and Dash Scuffs

Damn. That's a bit more than minor, but don't be discouraged. (I'm assuming the car you bought drives solid so it's good if you're only dealing with cosmetic headaches on a used car).
If I were in your shoes, I'd rationalize a new wheel and new trim because u just saved a bunch by not purchasing new. Then, I'd enjoy the heck out of it.
My suggestion, get an official quote so you know the ceiling, then work through other avenues like used, salvage, etc.

The leather on the steering wheel(other then the worn out bits) looks drier than Death Valley on a rainy day.
Posted previously, but agree with this. Take a shot.

You could try heating the plastic trim piece up gently with a hair dryer first and if that doesn't work then a heat gun on low. Keep the heat source moving, You might just be able to bring some of the pigment back into that scratched area doing it this way. If it were me, I would try that but first remove the piece from the car so nothing else gets damaged if it doesn't work out. Other then that, your only option is to try to hide it some with trim restoring products.
For the leather wheel, get a high quality leather conditioner. Leatherique comes to mind for this, Rub it on the wheel after cleaning it, let it sit and then use a microfiber towel to remove any excess.
This kit should serve you well if you want the cleaner as well:

If you only want the rejuvenating oil, that can be bought separately as well.

Eh...don't do the heat gun thing. Tried that on my steering wheel cover and all it did was make that part of the plastic shiny and stand out way more than it did before (scratch is still there).
I'd look at salvage or otherwise to replace the dash piece.

Yes it should and Mazda recognise that. There is a TSB which will allow you to claim a new wheel under warranty. As for the OP, his car is out of warranty bout you can sew a new leather cover over the top like this guy on the CX-3 forum did......

With regard to the scuff, let me see if I can identify the part. It might be part of the entire top dash. I'll be back!

I believe the right part is item 1 on this parts drawing “right hand wall”.
Take this to the dealer and check if he thinks its right before ordering. It is 8.16 pends which you should get for about $12. You would have to pull the dash to bits to fit it but your local garage would do that for you.
