I don't know of any way to remove the scratch. You might try some Armor All to see if that lessens the scratch's visibility.

Well, almost everytime I reach waaaaaay back to get my seat belt, my ring rubs along the inner top door panel (black) and leaves a long whitish scratch mark. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr !!!!.
I found that Mother's "Protectant" vinyl and plastic spray works quite well and makes them less visable .....

I'll have to keep that in mind as my car ages and inevitably gets those scratches.

meguiars plastx, if that doesnt work you have to wet sand, just rubbing some 2000 grit lightly on mine helped, but you have to blend it a bit or it will leave dull spots

I sanded some scuffs on the passenger side trim right above the glove box where some one had put their feet and scratched it pretty bad(previous owner). I used 440 grit then 1000 and put a light coat of dull lacquer over it, almost as good as new.

cheap plastic interior. That's my one complaint on this car... Even my ring has scratched it a time or two. I don't remember my '01 or my '95 doing it as bad as this car!
