Hiding scratches on interior plastics?

Man, these door panels scuff easily! I've tried just about everything including a Meguire's products for vinyl. Any suggestions?

Ha ha... don't blame you! Now I see why so many owners cover door panels with vinyl, etc.

If I become sufficiently disgusted I'll look into one those spray-on dye products-- the only solution that I can identify at the moment.

rub them with used motor oil(if the parts are light color, new oil)- then clean with cloth. wipe down with a good interior protectat. (this no joke- used it myself at detail shops)

get a tub of vaseline...rub it on and leave it in the sun a bit. let it soak in and soften the plastic a bit..and then rub/wipe it off. it hides some scratches pretty well.

i like the motor oil idea too. same idea. soften the plastic to get rid of the rough scratches.
