Default Scratches on interior plastic

OK, I've noticed little scratches here and there on the interior plastic.

Besides covering the interior in bubble wrap what can I do to clean these up or cover them up...:?:

if it really bothers ya, just replace the plastic but scratches will come back.

just leave it as is and consider them as decorations

whenever i work on interiors it usually involves a phillips head, and a 90 degree pick. and 10 mms of course. if you take the end of the screw driver (it needs to be hard plastic) and rub it over the scratch, like rub hard, it will lessen it. it is nothing like an eraser, but it does smooth out some of the gouged material into the pit. if it's really small scrathes, you can use the end of the pick.

they might have products out there for this crap, but i wouldn't care so much about plastic superficial stuff.

I havent tried it on the Scion plastic but this trick works great on Hondas with softer plastic....

Get a pencil torch and graze it a few times. The deep scratch will still be there, but the main objective is to remove the white residue that is left behind. WIth the white gone it will make it less noticable.

When I get the chance Ill fix mine and do a how-to.
