Cleaning the interior yesterday I noticed I have picked up a light scratch on the rear o/s door piano black trim. No idea how as we never had any passengers in it, maybe when I took some old carpet to the tip.
Is there anyway of polishing this out, would scratch X or something do it or just dull the trim?

If the scratch is just on the surface you can polish out, first check with fingernail to feel for any depth. ScratchX maybe a little harsh and you could end up making the area worse. Use a really fine grade polish and sponge applicator pad to apply product and a fine soft cloth to remove, just be very gentle and sparing with product and application as less is more. Lots of products out there to chose from, really too many 😳 but the method is the most important factor. Need also to finish with a protective coat. If you like Meguiars they have a number of suitable products

I thought that I had a scratch on my trim but it turned out to be a mark which polished out. Hopefully you are similar...

If it is a scratch it might be worth trying one of these "scratch remover cloths" .
