Default Silver Trim Scratches

Hello everybody, I purchased this driver door panel to replace my current door panel, but when i received the door panel, there was all of this marring on the silver trim. Is there any way to get rid of these light scratches? They are not deep to the point where you can feel them. Would using a compound work?.

Thank you

that sucks. did you buy it new? if so, i would send the piece back. that's not in an acceptable condition for a new product.

The silver trim doesn't appear to be sold separately.

You can't buy them separately sadly. You can remove them and paint them or vinyl wrap them.

FYI. The fake carbon on the doors and glove box are already some form of vinyl wrap so don't feel bad about wrapping that too.
