Hello everyone. My interior trim got some scratches. Not very deep, but it doesn`t look good. Does someone have the experience to fix them somehow?
I would appreciate any help.

You might be able to buff those out with polishing compound. Maybe a detailing shop could fix that for you.
I had scratches right above the radio on the climate controller. The Lexus dealer was able to have a 3rd party come in to remove it. I still can't understand how they did it. It was something with heat and melting plastic if I heard it right. It looks great. By the way, I asked them to remove some light scratches in the climate controller buttons, but had trouble doing so. I would contact a detailing shop or a dealer like mentioned above.
It would be nice if there was a paint code or something for the interior trim (I couldn't find it)

I agree. If you ever come across the a paint code or a product like "Rustoleum Trim Paint" that matches the dash let me know. I'd love to try it out.

Mechanically my car is in tip top shape. I put more than the average 12k miles on my vehicle every year. A scratch that obvious would definitely be bothersome to me. Funny enough, I could care less about the lower portion of the door panels that have light scuffs/scratches.
Thanks a lot for the answers. Now I know that I`m not the only one.
Maybe I need to use some combination of sanding with sandpaper, heating, and polishing with compound.
Unfortunately, I don`t have here a good dealing shop and service. But first - I will try to find some separate plastic detail or area to try that combination. And report the result
