No more B.S. heres the straight answer
 
Alright I tried many of the mentioned solutions here and these were my results.
1. Sharpee - dotted and rubbed works okay for a very minor but not great and doesnt work for anything large
2. Hair Dryer- I used a heat gun and for any decent scratches you have to heat a decent amount and it leaves the result a little glossier than the rest of the area and it can/will melt the plastic

3. *Shoe polish= ******WINNER****** Ding ding ding*** wish I would have tried this before all the previous... But now none of you will make any mistakes.

I used a $2.50 can I purchased at wal-mart and just rubbed it on with a microfiber towel heres the before and after:

I have a small scratch in mine from removing the console trim as well... Glad to see this worked for you. Did you put anything over it as a sealant of some sort?

Gonna go get a can next time I'm there. :tup:

No nothing over it just rubbed it in and called it good I will wipe the area tomorrow with something white to make sure that nothing comes rubs up but when I checked it right afterwards with the orange microfiber towel it was good. I will try to keep an update as time goes on
