Default How to fix scratches on the radio cover?

Any ideas on how to semifix or help with scratches on the radio cover? I left it up and tucked an air freshener on top of it and it left a couple scuffs and such. I know other people complained about scratches but wondering what you guys did.

Sand, paint, or a close matched paint touch up. Otherwise, head on down to your Scion dealership for an ankle grab without the reach-around.

I used Meguiars Car Polish. Only a small amount and it took the scratches out without taking the paint off. BUT ONLY USE A TINY TINY AMOUNT.

Yea rubbing compound is a bit harsh. You might be able to use it if u have a pretty damp rag and use a very small amount.

Ya know, something I came across while modding my xbox is Brasso. Brasso is a metal polish I simply got at walmart. I used it to polish the plastic underside of my xbox jewel until it was crystal clear. I've used it on other plastic pieces as well (painted and unpainted) and if you use just the right amount of elbow grease, it might just work for you.
