Anyone know how to fix these interior scratches?
 
Well I messed up, I had a car charger wedged between my passenger seat and my console and didn't realize it was scratching up my console.

Knowing the material of the console, is there any way to get these scratches gone? The only imperfection of my Z now :(

I have nothing to offer but am interested in a solution as my hatch area has a few of these types of scratches.

Try a heat gun, just don't hold it in one place too long, don't want to melt it.

time for some alcantra?

i´ve had limited success fixing these type of scratches in the past. the trunk of my old xterra looked like freddy kreuger had been sleeping in it, just like the side of your console. i went over them with a lighter. some of the smaller ones disappeared but i didnt wanna keep torching the plastic and make a scratch in to a ruined panel. so i am not sure i would recommend that method to anyone. it did help though.

edit: sounds like my lighter method is sort of a ghetto version of the heatgun method posted above. so heat might be your best bet.

I have one long scratch in a similar location and I might try using a heat gun

get a new one, or SEM spray it.

How about sanding it?

I think a mild abrasive compound will do the trick. If the scratches are deep, this probably wouldn't work.

Ive done that and it works
You do have to be careful as you can do more damage

Use some kind of round hard plastic and rub the heck out of it. I had some big scores on my door panel when I installed my speakers and it slipped and scrapped the cement floor. It looked nasty! I used a black poker chip and rubbed it good!! It's barely noticeable now.
