cant tell what you are posting...
scratches on the interior part????
pretty hard to see the problem-
but if its really bad you will have to replace the part, cause it looks like it might be deep scratches in plastic -
if it is scratches in plastic, you can try a plastic polish, but if the scratches are deep it wont get them.

sorry about the pic.....i'm home now so i'll try and repost the pic.....but it's not a scratch....it's on the surface...I got something on the trim and it faded the paint around it and that spot actually is above the surface.....is there some kind of touch up paint that can cover it...if so where would I take it to have it done?

this one is not as aggressive, but would be my first step (i always go least aggressive to more aggressive):
http://properautocare.com/meplplclpo.html

if that doesnt work, the more aggressive approach is:
http://properautocare.com/scoffapgu.html

a good detailer can do the above for you if you dont want to try it yourself-
and if that doesnt get it, take it to the dealer and ask how much it would cost to replace it!
