Default Scratches on wood grain

I have a 2 deep scratches on the wood grain of my cup holder cover. Is there a way to fix this/cover it up some? I also have another scratch closer to my cooled seats button. All the videos I saw online on removing scratches in wood really the glossy/shiny kind in luxury vehicles so not sure if that would really do anything on this car.

Worst case is I buy a carbon fiber set that I probably was gonna buy anyway that’ll cover everything up

I had some really bad ones on my black trim. Yesterday I used some Mother’s headlight cleaner on them and got most out. I was already going to order nee pieces. I’m going to go over it again in a few days but I’m already happy with the results.

thanks for sharing, that’s interesting. I hope that would have a similar effect on my brown wood without messing up the color/finish

That looks great!! Are the pieces pretty flush with the center console and doesn’t look like it is bulging out and out of place? The pics look great
