It's grey plastic so it won't look black unless you paint it?!

You can make it shiny or satin finish with various products but you will still be able to see the scratches.

As said by others, other alternatives include replace, spray or flock.

I wouldn't suggest using CG NLTG on interiors unless you like mega shiny sticky plastics tbh :!

Won't get a product that'll improve your scratches though - I doubt very much that even a smart repairer could sort that fully - maybe sort some of the deeper / bigger ones by retexturing the plastic. You really can't be that careful though judging by the state of it though!! :|

I think the plastic that makes up most of the interior on my Ibiza is really soft and seems to mark/scratch very easily like so





Is there anyway to restore the bits of trim at all?
