You can clean them off with a Woolite solution mix with water (1 part to 10 parts) and then apply 303 aerospace protectant on those textured trims. It will minimizes the appearance. But they will always still be there but just hiding alittle.
or
The problem with trying to remove scratches out of materials like you got there is no way to wear off or down by scraping or rubbing the surface to level it and have it look original again. All you can do is clean and dress the area like I said above and it won't be as apparent or just consider replacing with a new trim piece or check your local salvage yard for a good used trim piece. Don't forget Ebay also.
