Discussed here recently on above thread...Procedure should be the similar...
Try Scratch-X with a microfiber applicator pad...Apply small amount of product onto the applicator pad and rub in product in a circular motion with moderate pressure...Rub in until you produce some heat..When you see the product begining to disappear after moderate rubbing, clean surface with microfiber towel...Repeat if needed, if scratch does not come out then its probably too deep..Lexus woodgrains are very sensitive and their clearcoats scratch/chip easily..

^ That's perfectly fine. I detailed the interiors of both household cars last weekend and used Menzerna FPII by hand - a very mild polish made even more so by the hand application. The light scratches and swirls came off with surprisingly little effort. Which tells me that the clearcoat on top of the veneer is very soft and is likely very thin.
I topped with Four Star UPP, but would recommend any good paint sealant - Menzerna FMJ and Klasse SG also come to mind. I was really impressed with the 'pop' to the wood grain, and of course the slickness to the finish is really nice too.
I can't speak to the materials, but on a number of early 200x model year Lexus vehicles I've noticed that the steering wheel and shifter finish tends to crack. It might be simple paranoia but I definitely plan to keep fresh sealant on all the wood trim - not just to protect from scratches & swirls and to keep it looking nice, but for U/V protection as well.

I have seen a number of these products at the local mega mart in Indiana. I am sure you can find them at a retail auto parts store in California.
Personally, I have had good luck with Turtle Was Polishing Compound. It claimed to have the ability to remove small scratches, and it has really come through for me. Although, in comparison to the products mentioned in this thread, I am sure my polishing compound is a very average performer at best. Something dedicated solely to scratch removal would be best.
