Polishing Piano Black Trim

Hey guys, Has anyone tried or had success in polishing out scratches and scuffs off of the Interior Piano Black trim?

I take good care of my car but other people aren't as considerate so over the last three years the trim has accumulated quite a few larger scratches and a lot of little surface scratches.

If anyone has a single piece of the piano black interior trim laying around that they don't need anymore that's been scratches or replaced I'd buy it off of you for a reasonable price, preferably low...then again can't beat free

Id love to try and polish scratches out on a test piece before trying anything on my interior parts in case it doesn't go well.

Thanks

The piano black isn't much different from the A/C pillars which are soft and swirl easily. I would take some Prima Finish or even Amigo and gently rub the finish by hand or a small orbital if you have one to restore it.

For maintenance, a quick detailer or Prima Slick or Prima Hydro is even better. Or even Amigo applied by hand will make a big difference in looks.

Thanks for the suggestions in products to use, I figured it would be a polish of some sort but I didn't know what was some good stuff.
