Default How to restore scratches on silver part of interior?

There are a few scratches on the silver part of the interior door (sorry, don't know what it's called exactly) from the previous owner. Is there a way to remove it? Photo is attached and it's sideways:

Default It's probably called door trim piece or some such.

If the scratch is through to the patterned plastic it's probably irreparable. You might be able to use something like Dr. ColorChip in a silver color to partially blend it in or just replace the trim piece.

You could also try cutting/rubbing compound on the lighter end of the scratch and see how it does.

Look at the scratch with a strong light (LED flashlight tactical works) and a magnifying glass to get a better idea of how deep it is.

you can also by those pieces used from an online salvage yard, I did that with my old A4 before turning it in on the S5.
