Hi TKL,

Sanding with 1000 grit sanding paper and polishing afterwards using "micro gloss" polishing paste ( or similar)will remove the scratches completely.

Wishing you success !

When you sand, use wet or dry paper, and keep it wet. Wrap the sandpaper around the end and turn the end instead of sanding in a straight line. This will help you to avoid sanding a flat spot into the plastic. It would be a good idea to mask the trim with tape so that you don't damage the finish and take off the gold plating.
