    Trim your nails and hit it with some 303.

    There is a scrotchbrite pad I think for plastic, I had to use it on my door panel as I was wearing a cast / boot for a few months.

    Ditto on the Aerospace 303 or Armor All low gloss. The plastic is cheap on these. When I was buying mine I even commented about scratches on the top of the door trim panel when I barely touched it. They hit it with whatever protectant the prep guys use and the scratches were gone. FYI plastic polish like PlastX works wonders on some types of plastic, especially hard clear plastics headlights. Will clean up rough edges on other plastics.

    It won't *fix* a scratch, but I've had it make some pretty rough stuff look a lot better, and it will make all the other interior plastics look much better

    I dumped my 303 product.

    I’ve noticed the interior plastics attract a lot of dust and small debris. Like some sort of static affect. Lots of hard plastics in this interior.
