Came back from a service, and I found small sratches on the silvery looking door trim on my 2014 IS350. I can feel the sratches when I ran my fingers on it.

Is there any car care that I can use out there to get rid of the scratches? I tried to search this forum but so far I can only see threads about removing scratches on the door panels.

Thanks for you help

If you can feel the scratches, it is unlikely that they can be repaired. You should contact the service rep and request a replacement for the damage they caused.

If the silver trim on the 3IS is like the trim on the 2IS wether or not you can repair it will depend on how deep the scratches are, and how much time/effort/$$ you are willing to put into fixing it.

On the 2IS the silver trim is nothing more than black ABS plastic with a silver coating on it. If you haven't gone through the silver coating you have the potential to polish and/or color sand and polish the scratch out. However that is going to be labor intensive on a small plastic part, and the chance of burning through the coating, or not being able to polish it to the same sheen as the rest of the trim is pretty significant.

I'd follow Zach's advice before attempting anything else.
