I've got a small scratch on the aluminum dash behind the steering wheel and it's annoying to look. Do you think I could use some paint cleaner/polisher to buff it

A lot of the silver stuff is actually plastic and not aluminum. You can tell by touching it when the car is cold.

Yea, its painted plastic, and its thin as it tends to be on any interior... you can try to polish it out just like you would a scratch on the outside, but I don't hold out much hope it can be saved. The interior finishes are generally paper thin.
