There is little you can do without making it look worse. The very best treatment for the trim is Black Wow. It will keep the trim looking great and may very well hide those scratches. Easy to use and it goes a LONG way. http://www.blackwow.com/
A short story if you will: At summer camp one year a wee lad came to me with tears and a bloody finger. He'd cut his finger with his new pocket knife.
After getting him cleaned up and bandaged I showed him multiple scars on my hands then told him what he had there was a good start. That got a big smile right back. Hope that helps your disappointment, Things will be coming at your new ride every time you launch it.
Plenty of people buy new cars and never take them out of the garage for fear of scratches, makes no sense. Your first dent frees you to enjoy your car. Head on over to the dealer if it's a brand new car and ask the detailer what they do to get those scuff marks out. Probably do it for you.
i got lazy the other day while rebuffing an area on my 05 MC front fender with out masking the fender trim and burned it
"fixed it the same day by replacing it with a new one
even though my car is 13 yr old the new trim matched fine and was easy and inexpensive to change

Hmm.. you have no idea how true that statement is. First dent... May as well go big or go home (long story which I might have posted in another thread.. needless to say.. small parking lot.. trying to avoid a large car on the drivers side I was not paying attention to the passenger side and I tagged a pillar). I have managed to find a rear passenger door in B22 at a salvage yard.. that they say is undamaged.. so hopefully it really is. Black trim pieces were impossible to clean, I tried, I did manage to get the white paint off the body though, at is was all paint transfer from the pillar to the car. I'll be replacing the trim pieces, they are about $50 each..
