Default door side scratches - how to remove

Hi,

Big excuse if wrong forum, but not sure whether the same material used in other models...

Maybe someone knows what is the material the door side is made of?
It's soft so it's not ordinary hard plastic.Is it vinyl based maybe?

I have a few annoying scratches there, tried to removed them using the hot air approach (heat gun or hair drier) but seems not to work, and I think cause it's soft plastic.
Any suggestions appreciated.

try applying some leather (I know it's not leather...) protectant on it to see if it makes it less noticeable

Check this video (
). Somewhere in it or in other "Legit Street Cars" videos this guy uses filler and plastic sheet to restore leather to its original condition.

Thx,
Yes, maybe there is no shortcut in fixing it and I need to do it in the similar way as presented.
So, the 1st step would be to find the shade matching the one on door sides.
