I do not believe the interior trim piece is actual chrome... but rather plastic that is covered in a shiny, chrome looking, finish.

Since that area is so tiny, I honestly would not bother attempting to polish them out at the risk of damaging surround areas. However, if you wish to attempt it, always start with the least aggressive method first.

For this, you may wish to find some PlasticX, or any other fine polish (Meguiar's Ultimate Polish, M205, etc) and work the polish into the area with a soft microfiber towel or foam applicator.

thank you very much, i have read somewhere in the forum that for the chrome scratches the best way is leaving them alone and live with them. is it correct, i will practice with some chrome plastics first before applying on the car.
