You can come pay me a visit, lol.
Or you can try Meguiar's Ultimate Compound at your local pepboys, get a pack of 3 yellow applicator pads too.

Are we talking about the interior trim panel, or the exterior paint?

What have you done to try to remove them?

If the plastic itself is scratched, there's not a whole lot you can do. Or is it just a scuff?

It seems like a scratch.

Yeah, if it is "scratched" there's not much you can do about it.

Something you could try is *lightly* scrubbing at it with a Mr. Clean magic eraser pad; it's just abrasive enough that if you're careful it may at least reduce the severity of the scratch.

Don't scrub too hard or too long though as this does have the potential to remove the texture, or the finish from the part.

Ouch. Sorry to heat about this -- I too have an annoying daily experience with this.
