Wife just bought a new(to her) car. it's a lovely week looked after example except for 3 skuffs.

2 on the hard plastic glove box door
1 on soft touch plastic near radio.

Drives me mad every time I sit in the passenger seat. She had the car valeted today and they just wiped over them. Nothing they can do apparantly. These are not deep scratches, just Surface scuffs.. There has to be some way to repair them..

any advice appreciated

The glove boxes on those are very easy to swap.

I think the solution to the glove box is yo replace it. The soft touch plastic around thr centre console... not so much .

Struggling to repair.
