Default scuffs on dash knee bolster (NOT sticky dash)

Good afternoon. On my recently purchased 2010 IS 350 there are a few light scuff marks on the dash area. My guess is that the previous owner put her purse on the floorboard and would occasionally scuff the hard plastic when retrieving it. Cleaning has not helped as it is not dirt. Has anyone found a method to eliminate subtle marks like these on hard plastic. Note, these are not scratches and the plastic has not been displaced, but rather a 'rub' of sorts. I tried a search but the overwhelming responses were for sticky/melting dashes which is completely understandable.

Thanks for any BTDT insights.

I’d first try 303. Just may help. Good luck——LJ

Thank you LJ. The only 303 with which I'm familiar is the Aerospace Protectant. I'm assuming they make another product given your message. Is there a particular one that you like? Do I need to order it online? Thanks for the suggestion, sorry for the additional questions.

Hey EF—-I’m referring to the Aerospace Protectant. That’s all I use. I did see they now make convertible top/interior protectant but I never tried it. I recommended 303 figuring it’ll make the color of the panel in question more uniform so hopefully it’ll hide some of the marks. Sorry I cudnt be more helpful——LJ
