Polish

I have buffed them out and looks like new

You can try by hand but will not get it 100%

I will take some before/after pics tomorrow once I get home from work tomorrow. Problem is keeping the scratches and swirls off, which is impossible since your always touching these pieces.

It's one of the main reasons i'm going to wrap the interior pieces in CF. I hate seeing those swirls and light scratches! lol

The wood interior trim has pretty much the same clear coat as your paint, so the fix is similar. Scratch X/compound and polish.
