Default How to deal with plastic marks?

HI guys, I have just bought a pair of seats and there is slight markings on the plastics as below:







Whats the best way to deal with these? I want to either get rid of the markings altogether or atleast reduce their appearance...

Thanks for any input!

I have seen a smart repair guy sand these type of scratches down and repaint with a plastic paint,which always looked okay apart from all the over spray that went over the rest of the trim

When you say plastic paint, do you mean normal finish paint (smooth) but with plastic primer, or a specialized paint which gives the 'plastic' grainy finish?
