Again, no personal experience, but I think touching up, and matching new to old is often tricky, especially with a surface like a dash, that's exposed to sun.
A friend bought a one year old Audi A4. The PO stuck some kind of air freshener thing on the dash, and it left a mark. He's in the same position as you. The dash isn't damaged, but there is a mark that he can't get off with everything that he's tried. So it's either refinish the dash (which I think might make it look worse than just leaving it alone), or replacing it, at $1600. I think the glue most have pulled some of the chemicals in the dash, to the surface. Bummer though, with a new car.
