W211 Wood Scratches
I've got a bit of scratches on my wood trim, mainly in the knob area and the cup area. (None on the wood streaks on the door and dash)
I was wondering what product that was readily available at a local shop, [Autozone or similar] is best to use to get rid of those scratches. They don't seem to be deeper than the clear coat on top of the wood.
If a rub off won't work I suppose I'll have to take it to a local shop for some sort of buffing?

I gave the PlastX a shot, it did noticeably improve the shine of the wood.
But there are a bunch of inch long scratches that are noticeable, is there any method to removing those deeper ones?

The wood trim in most vehicles (some Mercedes Benz model’s use real wood) is protected with a urethane clear coat, polyurethane or a thin lacquer, which is very easily scratched. Remove scratches with a fine polish (Groit's Fine Hand Polish) clean /protect with a chemical cleaner (Klasse All-In-One or Zaino Z-AIO) and then buff with a clean 100% cotton towel

If The Plastx did Not remove the deep scratches...first see IF Your finger nail drags on the scratch if so the scratch is To deep....
If Not try a Polish like #82 or 83 from Meguiars or a Rubbing compound then use the plastx
